The key background.
President Joe Biden announced new restrictions on air travel from South Africa, Zimbabwe, and other countries on Friday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there were no cases of the new variant in the US. The variant is believed to be the cause of an outbreak in South Africa. EU nations, Israel, Australia and Singapore are some of the countries that have limited travel to southern Africa. The new variant of omicron has a large number of changes compared to previous strains, which have alarmed experts that the new variant could be more transmissible and that the existing vaccines could be less effective.
The quote is crucial.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said that he would not be surprised if omicron was present in the U.S. He said that when you have a virus that is showing this degree of transmissibility and you're having travel-related cases in other places already, it almost invariably is going to go all over. The U.S. variant surveillance system has reliably detected new variant in this country, according to the CDC. If omicron emerges in the U.S., we expect it to be identified quickly.
