*US To Lift Omicron-related Travel Ban On Southern African Countries* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ck The United States of America will on 31 December lift restrictions on travellers from Southern African nations, imposed last month in a bid to slow down the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant. White House’s assistant press secretary, Kevin Munoz, said that the restrictions will be lifted in line with a recommendation from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Munoz tweeted on Friday: ---------- *Latest itel S24 now available on Pindula* $124 Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

This decision was recommended by [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]. > The restrictions gave us time to understand Omicron and we know our existing vaccines work against Omicron, [especially] boosted. The US ban applied to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi. Al Jazeera quoted a senior White House official as saying with Omicron present across the US and globally, international travellers from the eight affected countries would not have a significant effect on US cases. Said the official: > During the travel pause, President Biden reduced the time for pre-departure testing to one day as opposed to three days … travellers from these eight countries will be subject to these same strict protocols. *More: Al Jazeera* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
