The US’ top advisor on the Covid-19 pandemic says that the travel ban on South Africa and neighbouring countries is likely to be lifted soon.

Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci gives an update on the Omicron COVID-19 variant during the daily press briefing at the White House on December 1, 2021 in Washington, DC.

But now, with Omicron accounting for 73% of new cases recorded in the United States, the travel ban is redundant. "We're letting in people from other countries that have as much or more [Omicron] infection than the southern African countries," Fauci said at the National Press Club on Monday.Travel bans imposed on South Africa immediately following the discovery of the Omicron variant gave the United States enough time to"figure out what was going on" but will be lifted"pretty soon" according to top infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci.

He keeps saying this. It’s been a month. My work visa is going to be cancelled for the second time. Open up for work visas!!!!!

Already done people

This is old news

maybe the travel ban is to stop or slow omicron from spreading in the USA. They know it destroys all other variants and hastens an end to the pandemic as it's only mild disease. Big pharma and its partners (govt) want to drag this out much longer.

'Pretty soon' they said...almost going to the 4th week and still they say Pretty soon...😏
