Dutch find 61 Covid-19 cases among SA passengers, looking for new variant

and were now conducting further testing to see whether any are infected with the recently discovered Omicron variant.

A spokesperson for the Dutch health ministry said it would not be known until later Saturday whether any of passengers are infected with the new variant. A spokesperson for the health authorities in Kennemerland, the Dutch region that oversees Schiphol, said the positive cases were being analysed by the National Institute for Health .“Vigorous applause because there is a BUS that has come to take us ... somewhere,” tweeted New York Times journalist Stephanie Nolen, a passenger on the flight from Johannesburg, during the long wait on Friday.

The new variant has been detected just as many European countries are grappling with a surge in coronavirus cases. "Last night several Omicron-typical mutations were found in a traveller returning from South Africa," tweeted Kai Klose, social affairs minister in Hesse, home to Frankfurt airport, Germany's biggest hub and one of Europe's busiest airports.

What is the context here ..... What are the stats from other flights from around the world 🌍 flying to dutchland ? Selective Bias and discrimination .... SA did not invent the variant, it's also a victim of it's transitions... WHO is dead silent, useless as ever!

How's this possible when all air travellers are tested just prior to flying? Unless the covid testing is suspect

I am very curious please tell us where these 61 Dutch people visited here in SA?

You get on a plane in South Africa, tested negative for Covid-19, then 11 hours later isolated from the world you tested positive Yeah right I get it.

That serves this government right because they so quick to o press their citizens and apply lockdowns from the rubbish they don't even know. The stigma has now shifted and it will remain south African virus at the end. Let them find it there's a lot to be

What is their current daily rate that side?
