'Omicron' identified in Australia

The Dhaka Times Desk 2 people infected with Omicron, a new variant of the corona virus, have been identified in Australia. Yesterday (November 28) this information was reported in a Reuters report.

অস্ট্রেলিয়ার সবচেয়ে জনবহুল রাজ্য নিউ সাউথ ওয়েলসের স্বাস্থ্য কর্মকর্তারা জানিয়েছেন যে, শনিবার সন্ধ্যায় দক্ষিণ আফ্রিকা হতে সিডনিতে আসা দুই যাত্রী ওমিক্রন পজিটিভ হয়েছেন। তাদের দু’জনের শরীরে কোনো উপসর্গই ছিল না। তারা সম্পূর্ণ টিকা নিয়েছেন ও বর্তমানে কোয়ারেন্টিনেই রয়েছেন।

At least 12 other passengers returning from South Africa have been placed under 14-day hotel quarantine in the country. Besides, about 260 passengers and crew were ordered to quarantine.

Presumably, this variant may be more difficult with individuals identified in Australia.

Note that the variant first discovered in South Africa has so far been identified in the UK, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Botswana, Israel and Hong Kong.
