• Omicron now in 77 countries, spreading at rate never seen before, WHO boss warns• Omicron, Delta cause 83% spike in Africa in one week with fewer deathsThe UK government, yesterday, said all 11 countries would be removed from the UK’s travel red list from 4:00a.m. today . The travel ban lasted 10 days.
But as at last night, The Guardian learnt that the parties had met in Abuja with “fruitful deliberation” towards an amicable resolution of the row. “While we will maintain our temporary testing measures for international travel, we will be removing all 11 countries from the travel red list effective from 4a.m. Wednesday morning.”
Head of trade group, Airlines UK, Tim Alderslade, said emptying the red list made “complete sense” but that the government should also scrap the remaining travel restrictions. He said the ministry is yet to receive any official communication from Britain on the withdrawal of Nigeria from the red list.
THE Omicron variant is spreading at a rate not seen before, and there is concern that people are dismissing it as mild, World Health Organisation Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said, yesterday, during a news briefing in Geneva. Tedros stated that vaccines alone won’t get any country out of this crisis. “Countries can and must prevent the spread of Omicron with measures that work today,” he said.
Moeti said: “We are cautiously optimistic that deaths and severe illness will remain low in the current wave, but slow vaccine rollout in Africa means both will be much higher than they should be.”
