Virologist, Tulio de Oliveira, says scientists are monitoring the United States handling of the spread of the new COVID-19 sub-variant, in order to help South Africa prepare.

.

The Stellenbosch University has described it as the most transmissible to date with symptoms close to that of Omicron.De Oliveira says South Africa has high population immunity against COVID-19.

“Early detection and preparation can make a big difference. One also has to be reminded that the United States is a bit like South Africa with high population immunity, which is very different from China,” says De Oliveira.

“So, we need to see what happens in the United States to make sure that nothing or very little will happen in South Africa as we are alert and it will not cause a big problem in the country.”
