WHO Names New COVID Variant Omicron, Designates It A Variant Of Concern by References: 9:19pm On Nov 26, 2021
The Technical Advisory Group on SARS-CoV-2 Virus Evolution met today to review what is known about the #COVID19 variant B.1.1.529.

They advised WHO that it should be designated a Variant of Concern.

WHO has named it Omicron, in line with naming protocols

The designation of Variant of Concern means:
� countries should share genome sequences
� report initial cases/clusters to WHO
� perform field investigations & lab assessments to understand impacts, epidemiology, severity, effectiveness of public health & social measures

This new #COVID19 Variant of Concern Omicron underscores the need to accelerate #VaccinEquity and get COVID-19 vaccines to health workers, older people and others at risk who still have not received their first and second doses.

We should work together to reduce the circulation of #COVID19:
�Get vaccinated if you have access
� Wear a mask
↔️ Keep physical distance
� Ventilate spaces
�� Good hand & respiratory hygiene

#InThisTogether

Can you imagine that the first five comments are at the same time... The competition on nairaland no be here. Anyways, the truth is bitter but I must say that we must be careful because this new variant is too deadly. The covid we know is a child's play compare to this one. Some of us for see this coming long before now. But God will help us.

Covid is the only pandemic that being vaccinated against it does not guarantee you're free from getting infected again

Why make vaccination compulsory in the first place?

This Plandemic I don't trust anything any media in the entire world says about covid 19. They said Africa will be a dead zone for covid 19 but now see how the table has turn, compulsory vaccine when it doesn't work, vaccine passport making life miserable for the unvaccinated especial in Australia. Africa my continent even as bad as it is God is always protecting the poor from this Plandemic....
