Moderna's (MRNA) CEO Bancel believes Omicron variant is "highly infectious"

Stéphane Bancel, Moderna's (MRNA) CEO, told CNBC that he believes the Omicron variant is highly infectious. There have been mutations in the spike protein in this strain, he noted, adding that the countries may have cases that they are not aware of. In the CEO's opinion, any country that had flights from South Africa in the last 7-10 days has the new variant. The imposition of travel restrictions can slow down the virus, he added.

Bancel also suggested that it will take 2-6 weeks to get more clarity if this variant is more deadly.
