ECB President Christine Lagarde said over the weekend that there is an “obvious concern” about the Eurozone economic recovery with the new Omicron variant. But she added, “I believe we have learnt a lot”.
“We now know our enemy and what measures to take. We are all better equipped to respond to a risk of a fifth wave or the Omicron variant”, she said to Italian broadcaster RAI.
“The crisis taught us this virus knows no boundaries. Therefore we will not be protected until we are all vaccinated”, Lagarde said.
