A new variant of the corona virus (omecron) is spreading around the world, with several countries sealing the border, while researchers have expressed ignorance about whether the omecron virus is more dangerous than corona.
Researchers from the foreign news agency AP South Africa identified Omekron a few days ago and there is not much information about him yet.
It is too early to say whether the virus is contagious.
It is believed that the news of the spread of Omi Cron virus is spreading rapidly and many countries are hesitant as to what strategy they should adopt while Corona virus has so far killed more than 5 million people.
Israel has decided to ban the entry of foreigners and Morocco has said it will suspend all incoming flights starting Monday for two weeks.
Scientists have confirmed its presence in many places from Hong Kong, Europe to North America.
There have been 13 reported cases of Omi Cron in the Netherlands and two each in Canada and Australia.
Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health in the United States, stressed that there is no data yet to show that the new type of code 19 could cause more serious illness than previous types.
"I think it's more contagious when you look at how fast it is spreading to many districts in South Africa.".
He further added that there are signs of spread from one person to another.
Collins called for redoubling of measures such as vaccinations, booster shots and the wearing of masks. "I know Americans are tired of hearing this, but the virus is not tired of us," Collins said.
The Dutch Public Health Authority confirmed that 13 people from South Africa who arrived on Friday had positive cases of omi cron so far.
He was among 61 people who tested positive for the virus after arriving on the last two flights at Amsterdam's Sheffield Airport before the flight ban was imposed.
Canada's health minister says two cases of Omi cron were found in Ontario after two people who had recently traveled from Nigeria.
Authorities in Australia say two passengers arriving in Sydney from Africa have contracted the new virus, and those from nine African countries now need to be quarantined at a hotel on arrival.
A total of 3 cases have been reported in passengers returning from the weekend in two German states.
Israel banned the entry of foreigners and made quarantine mandatory for all Israelis coming from abroad.
Japan is considering increasing border controls.
