The Dow Industrial Average fell 905 points, or 2.5%, marking its largest one-day percentage drop since October 2020.

The World Health Organization said on Friday that the new variant — called Omicron — “has a large number of mutations, some of which are concerning.” The organization added, “Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant.”
