As govts and mainstream media warn the world of the new Omicron variant, some African officials are singing a different tune with the South African’s Minister of Health saying its travel ban is “misdirected” and the medical association’s chairperson adding, “It is a storm in a tea cup, we have only become aware of this viral mutation … in the last week.”
