US announces travel restrictions over new Covid-19 variant!!!
- The US, European Union and other major destinations have moved to block flights from several African countries following the discovery of a new, potentially more transmissible variant of Covid-19.
- The WHO labeled the newly discovered strain as a "variant of concern." The B.1.1.529 variant was first detected in South Africa but cases have so far been confirmed in Botswana, Belgium, Israel and Hong Kong.
It could be several weeks before US officials know more about Omicron variant

Bans should be put on other countries where the virus had been revealed: Italy, Israel, UK, and more. Not just African countries.
