You will need to be more COVID careful because it has begotten another baby called OMICRON. Omicron is deadlier than the python’s venom and almost scarier than its mother.
In other words, Omicron is deadlier than COVID, has been discovered in South Africa and now in some part of Europe, just as we write to you
Though some nations have begun to put some measures in place to tackle it as quick as possible, while millions of people are scared of another possible global luck down, as stay safe and you must guard yourself far from Omicron has begun to thread again
Omicron is attaining a seemingly fast-spreading dimension in some countries of the world. While there’s a shortage of real-world data, Omicron is swiftly emerging and its genetic profile is raising concerns globally as well as fear. As of now, it is not clear the threat that this new variant virus poses or what it is capable of.
Meanwhile, we cannot tell how transmissible the new variant could be. Whether it is more severe or milder no one can tell for now.
As a result of this uncertainty, the government of the United Kingdom has chosen to act fast; especially since the Kingdom attracts a lot of incoming travels and foreigners. It means that the UK is not waiting to tell stories that touch. But reacting proactively while it is yet prompt.
The response of the government is to ensure that everyone arriving on the UK’s soil from abroad is tested. And if Omicron is detected, there’ll be immediately isolated.
The government is also further re-enforcing the compulsory use of face masks in the public.
But the unfortunate side of the story is that isolating or enforcing the use of face masks will not stop the spread of the variant. It can only ameliorate its tendency to circulate far or lead to far-reaching consequences.
As it is told, the Omicron variant was first reported from South Africa to WHO on November 24. Therefore, countries have banned travels to and from South Africa.
In Europe, several cases have been discovered: two in the UK, two in Germany, one in Belgium, and another in Italy. In the Czech Republic, there was a suspected case.
Individuals who travel from South Africa to Holland (Netherlands) are being tested for the new variant. As a result, South African natives are complaining that instead of being applauded for discovering the Omicron in the country, they’re rather being punished for it.
But South Africa is not the only African country with the Omicron case, Botswana also has a detected case. In Asia, Hong Kong has a case likewise.
Because of the surging case in the Netherlands, an extended partial lockdown comes into force on Sunday evening.
The Omicron variant was found in Israel also. Now the government of Israel has banned all foreigners from entering the country from midnight on Sunday. According to the Times of Israel, the measure will last for 14 days.
An African Union Official reported that developed countries were to blame for the emergence of the variant. In his words, “what is going on right now is inevitable.
It’s a result of the world’s failure to vaccinate in an equitable, urgent, and speedy manner. It is as a result of hoarding vaccines by high-income countries of the world, and quite frankly, it is unacceptable,” said AU vaccine delivery alliance co-chair Ayoade Alakija.
“These travel bans are based in politics and not science. It is wrong…why are we locking away Africa When this virus is on three continents?
Note that on Friday and Saturday, some countries have been banned from traveling to the UK namely: travelers from South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Angola, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Lesotho, and Eswatini.
The WHO said that it will take a few weeks to understand the impact of the new variant, as a scientist will work to determine how transmissible it was.
In all, whatever be the case, the important advice is that you should take note of the fact that the Covid pandemic is very much around.
It has taken a newer dimension and we must be mindful especially when socializing. Wear your face mask while in the public, sanitize, and practically abide by all Covid protocols. Stay healthy – stay alive! and best Stay Safe, from all of us World Forum. Global community
