 EU諸国に続いてUSAもtravel ban。

BBC Covid: US joins EU in restricting flights from southern Africa over new coronavirus variant 27 Nov 2021

The US will restrict travel from South Africa and seven other southern African countries to try to contain a new coronavirus variant spreading there.

From Monday, only US citizens and residents will be allowed to travel from the region.

This follows a similar flight ban imposed by the EU and the UK. Canada is also introducing travel restrictions.


The Omicron variant was first reported to the WHO from South Africa on 24 November, and has since been identified in other countries.

The WHO says so far fewer than 100 sample sequences have been reported. Cases have mainly been confirmed in South Africa, but have also been detected in Hong Kong, Israel, Botswana and Belgium.

They were among some 600 passengers held for several hours after arrival while they were tested for the virus.

The new Omicron variant was first reported to the World Health Organization from South Africa on 24 November.

It has also been identified in Botswana, Belgium, Hong Kong and Israel.

More suspected cases were reported in Germany and the Czech Republic on Saturday.


 すでに疑い例はドイツ、チェコでまであるようで。…まあ、時間の問題ですね。
 …数週間ほどあればリスク評価もできるでしょうが、さてどのくらいのものだろう。
