From Paris to Johannesburg (South Africa), the director of the World Health Organization calls for calm concerning the appearance of the “Omicron” variant. Thibault Franceschet, journalist at France Télévisions, provides details on this subject.
On all continents, a case of the “Omicron” variant has been detected. “For France, the first case was detected on Reunion Island. It is a 53-year-old man who was traveling in Mozambique. On his return from his trip, he made a stopover in South Africa “South Africa is where it all started. The first case was detected on November 25 and the number of cases has increased tenfold in the space of ten days. It could be that this variant is major in the country “, explains Thibault Franceschet, journalist at France Télévisions.
Many countries in Europe have already announced cases. “In the Netherlands, there are already 14 confirmed cases, exclusively travelers returning from South Africa. The country’s authorities have even announced that the virus has already been present since November 19. This suggests that it exists many cases in Europe which have not been detected. Israel, Canada, Australia and Japan have also announced the presence of cases “, adds the journalist from France Télévisions
