Will Omicron cause more severe illness?

Hello, I am very much worried about the emergence of omicron. Will Omicron cause more severe illness? We have lost one of our family members due to delta variant of COVID. Please help me with your information.

@abhiraj More data are needed to know if Omicron infections, and especially reinfections and breakthrough infections in people who are fully vaccinated, cause more severe illness or death than infection with other variants. For now it is better to abide by the COVID guidelines and adhere to COVID appropriate behaviour.
