Biden administration prepares new restrictions for travellers as well as mask-wearing until mid-MarchBerlin/Washington — Germany decided on Thursday to bar the unvaccinated from all but the most essential business and the US prepared further travel restrictions as the world scrambled to curb the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
Eager to avoid derailing a fragile recovery of Europe's biggest economy, Germany kept businesses open to the almost 69% of the population that is fully vaccinated as well as those with proof of having recovered from the virus. “The president is going to unveil a very robust plan, pull out all the stops to prepare for the winter and to prepare for the new variant,” White House Covid-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients told broadcaster MSNBC.
But the EU’s public health agency said Omicron could be responsible for more than half of all Covid-19 infections in Europe within a few months, lending weight to preliminary information about its high transmissibility. Global shares fell on Thursday, reversing gains from the previous session as a lack of information about Omicron left markets volatile, while crude oil futures extended losses.Russia has imposed a two-week quarantine for travellers from some African countries including SA, the Interfax news agency said, quoting a senior official. Hong Kong extended a travel ban to more countries and Norway, among others, reintroduced travel restrictions.
