The World Health Organization is urging travelers to wear face masks as a new Omicron subvariant called “Kraken” is spreading. Even though this new variant is not more devastating than any others, there’s a push to see how much the public will comply with.

Countries should consider recommending that passengers wear masks on long-haul flights, given the rapid spread of the latest Omicron subvariant of COVID-19 in the United States, said the WHO on Tuesday, according to a report by Reuters.
