WASHINGTON, Dec 6 — The Omicron variant of the coronavirus has spread to about one-third of US states, but the Delta version remains the majority of Covid-19 infections as cases rise nationwide, US health officials said yesterday.

Fauci, in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” praised South Africa for its transparency and said the US travel ban was imposed at a time “when we were really in the dark” and needed time to study the variant. Despite several dozen Omicron cases, the Delta variant still accounts for 99.9 per cent of new Covid cases in the United States, CDC Director Dr Rochelle Walensky told ABC News in an interview.

Louisiana currently has one Omicron case from an individual who travelled within the United States, its health department said yesterday. The emergence of the new variant has sharply curtailed the number of energy executives and government ministers planning to attend the four-day World Petroleum Congress in Houston this week, which had already been rescheduled from 2020.
