Omicron

[crafters_corner]

I think we'll have to close our borders to southern African countries too, preferably sooner rather than later. But there was also a case in Egypt  & another in - I think it was - Belgium, so presumably it may already have spread a bit anyway.

Too bad for all those who thought they will be able to travel again, you wait, Australia will be closed off again once they find its there too!

Interesting fact, Omicron is the 15th letter of the alphabet, so this must be the 15th variation of the virus going by the WHO's naming strategy using the greek letters of the alphabet.

Two people have tested positive, on arrival into Sydney, and 14 passengers from the same flight, from various African countries that have the Omicron. I think I read somewhere, where it could be in the UK too.
