Infectious disease modeller Professor Nick Golding said it's hoped the next wave will be "half" the size of previous waves."We think the infections from BA.1 Omicron protect you against BA.2."Hopefully smaller, maybe half as small."Infectious disease modeller Professor Nick Golding says another wave of Omicron is imminent.
