Omicron could Deal another Blow to Supply Chains

Just as it appeared like the crisis was beginning to stabilize, the industry may now face yet another blow: the new omicron Covid variant. Omicron is “another test of resilience” for already-stressed supply chains, said Per Hong, senior partner at consulting firm Kearney. 
Omicron is “another test of resilience” for already-stressed supply chains which remain vulnerable to pandemic-related disruptions.
Hong added “If this does happen, not only will shipping be constrained, but we are certain to see yet more shortages of key manufacturing components and extended order backlogs for core electronic, automotive and consumer products depending on regions impacted”.
