Hi friends, this time I am back to share information, namely about whether it is dangerous? the first case detected with the Omicron Covid-19 variant that has entered Malaysia.
On Friday (12/3/2021), one of the Ministers of Health, Khairy Jamaluddin, said that Malaysia had detected the first case of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 in the country.
According to the information I know and has circulated on several sites. In this case, the case was actually detected in a foreign student from South Africa who arrived in Malaysia via Singapore on 19 November.
The student is currently in quarantine along with five other people who were on the bus that took him from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh, Perak.
Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the student entered Malaysia before the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Omicron a worrying variant.
On Wednesday (1/12/2021), Malaysia was on alert to temporarily ban the entry of travelers from countries that have reported the Omicron variant of Covid-19 or are considered high risk. The travel ban now applies to eight African countries, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi, and could be extended to other countries where variants have been detected, such as the UK and the Netherlands.
Malaysia's stance will also delay plans to establish vaccinated travel routes (VTL) with affected countries and reimpose quarantine requirements for Malaysian citizens and long-term residents returning from those countries, regardless of their vaccination status.
So at a glance the information that I can share with all of my friends and hopefully useful.
Thank you for reading. Stay safe and stay healthy. Health is Wealth.
Regards!🙂

The 'variants' are the vaccine side-effects. There is no virus.
