Canadian Well being Minister Jean-Yves Duclos introduced on Tuesday new journey measures, being enacted immediately, to fight the unfold of the brand new Omicron COVID-19 virus variant, which was first detected in South Africa.
These measures embrace extra testing at airports and the addition of three African international locations, Egypt, Malawi and Nigeria, had been included on the journey ban checklist.
This comes because the Omicron variant of concern continues to floor in additional international locations, with not less than 4 instances having been reported in Ontario and one in Quebec.
Final week, Well being Minister Jean-Yves Duclos introduced that Canada was enacting 5 COVID-19 journey measures involving seven international locations in southern Africa, together with Zimbabwe and South Africa. Beneath the brand new measures, international nationals who travelled by way of these international locations could be barred from coming into Canada.
The B.1.1.529 variant, often known as the “Omicron” variant, was first detected in South Africa, however new information exhibits the rising menace slipped into international locations earlier than their defences had been even in place. It’s unclear the place or when the variant first emerged.
Tuesday’s replace comes as a lot stays unknown concerning the new variant, together with how contagious it is perhaps, whether or not it causes extreme illness and the way efficient present vaccines in use, are towards the virus.

Le virus du covid 19 ,les vaccins ne peuvent pas irradiquer complètement le ou les variantes du covid,ils peuvent seulement atténuer les symptômes du virus, qui vient d'une erreur de laboratoire de wupan en Chine. Deux mois avant que la Chine déclare qui il y une pandémie, le gouvernement Chinois a acheté une quantité importante de masques,de gens,de vêtements de protection contre le covid,en plus le gouvernement de Chine s'est porter acquéreur de parts de compagnies qui manufacturiers ce type de produits.
L'O.N.U devrait inviter tous les gouvernement de tous les pays de faire un embargo international contre la Chine pour sa mauvaise foi et d'avoir caché la vérité au monde entier .
enough of this garbage, Canada the land of the over-bearing wind bag gov't minions who have never learned to shut their wretched mouths … blah blah
I get my Virus updates on Sunday morning PBS by Harvard PH.D'S these incessant stooges have no idea what they are even babbling about …. only in Canada .. how pathetic as usual

Wearing face covering's that are not used to even stop large particles while sanding forget about virus particles that can be as small as microns , Infection rates increased 60 % after the population became fuly vaccinated and you can expect to see millions worldwide dead in the next 6 /12 months Look for free world news sites on the net for your information What is happening in aus will be coming here , if you do not fight for the rights of the people nobody will , This is the most important duty you will be charged with in your life …. do not shame your forefathers and make what they accomplished be erased …. history is not taught anymore that is the problem … lest we forget
All nonsense. The same things words no action. Trudeau said no foreign investors in canada 2 years ban yea right. Lies
I can't believe the profound stupidity of those set in authority over us. I'd like to hold down these talking heads and yell into their faces, at top volume, that "RESTRICTING TRAVEL DOES NOT WORK TO RESTRICT THE VIRUS." Restricting travel has not, is not and will not stop, or even appreciably slow down, the transmission of the virus.
The virus cannot fly. The virus cannot walk. It doesn't matter WHERE on the PLANET, the virus MUST be transmitted from one person to another, through the air, on droplets of moisture from their mouth and nose. So, to stop the transmission of the virus, everyone wears a PROPERLY FITTED mask and stays at least 6' from another person. PRESTO! Pandemic stopped dead in its tracks.
So what do we do? We pay thousands of "officials" who know no more than we do to tell us what THEY are going to do that is proven NOT TO WORK. They screw up the plans and lives of tens of thousands of people doing WHAT DOESN'T WORK. Over and over and over again.
Plan-demic..that's what it is
I'm returning from Egypt and they say I have to get COVID test from another country!!! How on earth I'm supposed to do that when my transit is 1 hour?!!
Introducing new measures is not the solution to avoid this new or old virus, this is really frustrating and pathetic too! If God says you will die with this virus no way can stop it, all i will say to everyone Put God first in everything because i know he is powerful than anything else in this world, continue praying hard and i am sure he always hear all the prayers, keep on praying everyday and yes he will answer our prayers
good !! that is the consequence we all need to suffer. ,more vaccination, longer pandemic, more mutant. That is what those vaccine manufacturers are laughing for. How does this omicron spread to many other countries ?? think about it carefully, that is because of vaccination and vaccine passports and people are carrying the passports and the virus travelling everywhere bringing the virus to us, and within countries, people are also carrying the passport and go everywhere spreading the virus to vaccinated and unvaccinated people, therefore we have an endless pandemic. But what can we do ?? nothing, as long as those presidents or prime ministers want to prolong the pandemic making lots of money from vaccines, we just need to suffer, hopeless!!! Hope someday, people will start to wake up , ground all planes except cargo ones, cut all the transmission paths and also within countries, stop all travelling and gatherings, isolate, locate and contain the virus, then we have a chance to get back our normal lives.
I see the racism and discrimination is still there why don't you also issue a travel ban on the United States and other western countries?Oh I see the double standards right?
The world has been trying for years to stop the spread how’s that going time to accept the truth we will all get covid better to do it sooner rather then later now
Wasn’t omni cron the bad guy from the fist transformers animated movie?
Get bent. All u ppl still just little sheep. When has any government actually given a flying f about your health?? What makes u think they r starting now
This has to stop, forcing your population to take vaccines and restricting that freedom over a cold (omicron) Makes Canada look weak and pathetic, Stand up for yourselves.
I would like to know WHY the vaccinated and ones that have the Booster are being Punished? Punish the Non-Vaxers! You are not looking out for all Canadians when you do NOTHING to those that take the rights away from those that ARE Vax.
Micron easy to catch but, this virus is weaker than previous waves
and if there are other waves the virus will get weaker and weaker
