Three Fresh Omicron Cases Confirmed In Nigeria by References(op): 2:19pm On Dec 07, 2021

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has confirmed three more cases of Omicron COVID-19 variant in Nigeria.

In a statement on Tuesday, the agency stated that the fresh Omicron cases were detected in persons with recent travel history to South Africa.

“The NCDC through the National Reference Laboratory (NRL) continues to coordinate genomic surveillance activities across the country to sequence all positive COVID-19 samples from international travellers arriving in Nigeria. This includes sequencing of positive samples from international travellers from October 2021 to date.

“The Delta variant remains the dominant variant and so far, we have not seen the replacement of this variant by the new Omicron variant as observed elsewhere. The Omicron variant is a source of global concern because of its increased risk of transmissibility and its potential to escape protective immune responses induced by natural infection and/or vaccination.

“Taken together, and if true, the Omicron variant can significantly change the current global COVID-19 epidemiology. There is currently no evidence of generalised or community transmission of this variant in Nigeria. However, the NCDC will continue coordinating and implementing genomic surveillance activities incountry to keep Nigerians reliably informed about existing variants, the Omicron and indeed other variants that may arise based on national data and emerging global evidence,” NCDC Director General, Dr. Ifedayo Adetifa said.

This brings the total number of confirmed cases of the Omicron variant detected in Nigeria to six.

The NCDC had on 1st December 2021 announced the detection of three cases.

How did they diagnose it?
No constant electricity, no state of the art labs, I doubt there are competent virologists in Nigeria....so how did they diagnose the Covid variant?

By this time 2019 covid was testing the waters in Africa, by the end of March last year there was a Nationwide lockdown.

I see history repeating itself again, I see a Nationwide lockdown by March next year, I the government looting billions meant for the masses, I see looting of palliatives by the hungry masses.

This I have seen.

Reading some comments above make me feel so sorry for the future of the country considering that these are made by the youths which are the leaders of tomorrow. We love to live in denials. I understand the mistrust for the govt but that doesn't erase the fact on ground that the Omicron variant is widespread in Nigeria already. The fact that Nigeria isn't actively testing and massively sequencing samples doesn't erase that fact omicron is in the country.

2 people who arrived in Canada from Nigeria tested positive to Omicron

21 people from Nigeria who arrived UK testd positive to Omicron

A student from Nigeria who newly arrived in Sydney Australia tested positive to Omicron variant

Ghana Health Minister saaid 28% of new arrivals from Nigeria and South Africa are testing positive to Omicron variant
The above news and more lend credence to the assertion that the omicron variant is already circulating in Nigeria.

Rather than accept this fact and take measures to protect ourselves we kept on screaming it is a scam. People are dying due to Covid-19 in Nigeria yet we kept on denying it because we don't have access to testing which is readily available in other saner climes.
