What is Omicron? The situation in South Africa and the closed borders

On 25 November 2021, in South Africa, a new Covid-19 variant called the Omicron variant has been discovered. They haven’t had COVID-19 cases for the past 2 months until the new patients were tested and diagnosed with another variant not seen before.

Many countries around the world restricted travel from South Africa as the foreign ministry made the statement. This variant was, initially named B.1.1.529 and it has numerous mutations.

The number of people diagnosed is increasing in almost all of South Africa’s provinces and only 24% of the population is known to be fully vaccinated. The head of the South African Medical Association said that the cases found up until now in South Africa were not serious, but investigations about the variant are still at a very early stage. The patients are mainly young. Their symptoms are so far mild and can be treated at home. They include tiredness and a sore body for one or two days. Also, there has been no loss of smell or taste and drop in the oxygen levels with the new variant.

Recommendations of World Health Organization (WHO)

World Health Organization’s regional director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti, called on countries to follow health regulations and science so travel restrictions can be avoided.

He advised countries around the world not to establish flight bans on southern African nations due to concerns over the new COVID variant -the omicron variant. Moeti pointed out in his statement that lack of travel heavily affects people even though, it might play to a small degree a role in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and added that if restrictions are implemented, they should not be intrusive or invasive, but should be scientifically based instead, according to the International Health Regulations, which is a binding instrument of international law acknowledged by over 190 countries.

Lately, cases of people diagnosed with the omicron variant of the coronavirus have shown up in countries on opposite sides of the world. And many governments have quickly proceeded to close their borders. Scientists claimed that there is no data yet to show if the new variant omicron is more dangerous or causes more serious illness than other previous versions of the coronavirus.

While the omicron continues to be investigated, WHO recommends that all countries take a scientific approach and risk-based and put in place measures that can limit its possible spread.

Laboratories there have approach to testing reagents to work at full capacity. Furthermore, WHO said it is ready to offer additional help, reinforcing COVID-19 responses including infection prevention, treatment, surveillance, and community engagement in southern African provinces.
