ICYMI: South Africa is on high alert following the discovery of a new COVID-19 sub-variant in the country, but it is not concerned that it will result in a wave of infections.

That’s the word from the Head of Genomics sequencing at Stellenbosch University, Professor Tulio de Oliveira.The Health Department says that they’re currently in discussions with scientists to gather more information about the variant, including its transmissibility and severity.

“It is not a new variant of concern. It is part of the Omicron family of lineages which now compares hundreds of different lineages. It is still omicron and emerged towards the end of last year, on the east coast of the U.S, more especially in New York. We are alerted but not concerned. We will continue to do Genomics Surveillance.”

Oh fuckoff not again 😒

SA on high alert?

But yet Chinese travellers are free to visit without any proof that they don’t have the virus! Other countries demand medical certificates. To say that SA is not concerned is foolish.

But asidayi kwiLock down...

I Kraken my pant.!! And so the hysteria begins again, at least that's the idea, but... hahaha FuckQueenRamaphosa FokOffANC MYANC PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa

They wanna finish more jobs again lol

South Africa is not on high alert for jerk, Your corrupt politicians are looking for the next score 🤷🏾‍♂️

Gaan speel

🖕

I'm sure the scientists are on top of it.

Covid is over, we all know now that all the worry was mass hysteria. We are waiting on findings from the USA Court system in regards to Fouchi's blatant lies and how it connects to big pharma... Stop bothering us with this.

And the propaganda news outlets have been notified to start spreading more lies to imprison the masses again and cause job losses. The wef is pulling every dirty trick out of the hat for their agenda.

Help me understand...the virus has never been isolated. How can you isolate variants and sub-variants...?

When people start dying, then they will be concerned 🙄

Come February it will be Loadshedding stage 5 Lockdown level 5

We are not on high alert. We will not comply

We are not on high alert YOU want us on high alert. It is all a lie.

Here you go. Now sit down and SHUT UP

Tulio at it again. 🤦‍♀️

Why are flights from china coming into the country still when other countries have restricted entry from the killer country.

People are already dying instantly Whats up?

This 'variant' is to cover up the vaccine side effects

Seriously, take your fear mongering and shove it!

High on weed

So why the high alert?

It would appear only the ones vaccinated with mRNA need to be on high alert. Unvaxxed and DNA vaccine people seem to be fine. Weird that one.

🤡

High alert? After you failed to protect us by banning flights from China

Yes! It's the summer variant and so it will keep on flowing...hope you have a good immune system for next years variant!

Never ever again. Understand this little journalist typing there…. NEVER AGAIN

As always our government is taking it slow and waiting for the virus to spread then act so that they can loot covid_19 funds.

The vaccinated should be on high alert

High alert huh ?

SABC is infected with the WEF virus... and for that.. there hardly is a cure.. but wait.. maybe ehh... we'll see about that.

🥱
