Fauci: Omicron ‘raging through the world’ and travel increases Covid risks
The Omicron variant of Covid-19 has “extraordinary spreading capabilities”, the top US infectious diseases expert said on Sunday, and promises to bring a bleak winter as it continues “raging through the world”.
The Omicron coronavirus variant is rapidly spreading across the U.S. just as the holiday season’s busiest travel period gets under way.
However, there appear to be no signs yet of the new variant significantly affecting air travel in the U.S. in the run up to Christmas.
More than two million people passed through airport security checkpoints on Monday for the fifth consecutive day, according to Transportation Security Administration data. The numbers have been tracking at between 81% and 85% of traveler throughput against the same days in 2019, although the peak holiday travel days are ahead.
@ETTUSA Agreed. USA defeated c19. Now defeating omicron. 2nd booster targeting minicron will be available soon. Minicron DATA WORLDWIDE NOW showing LOW POTENCY.
Malaysia is different from US. US can print USD. Malaysia has to borrow RM. Borrow has to repay. Malusia can repay? Print RM and repay? Malaysia no hope? US can bully other countries, Malaysia cannot.
Singapore to suspend new ticket sales for quarantine-free travel starting Thursday
Singapore will freeze new ticket sales for quarantine-free travel in an effort to limit exposure to imported omicron cases, the health ministry said in a statement Wednesday.
The suspension, which begins Thursday and runs through Jan. 20, applies to flights and buses into the city-state.
Travelers who have already booked tickets under Singapore’s vaccinated travel lane arrangements will still be able to enter the country without serving quarantines.
