But did not do so when China was crawling with the coronavirus:
The countries the ban applies to are South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Eswatini, and Namibia.
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said in a press conference on Nov. 26 that individuals who have arrived from these countries in the last 14 days will be asked to take a COVID-19 test and to quarantine until they receive a negative result.
Also, Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or those with a valid visa coming from the region will be tested on arrival and have to quarantine in a hotel until receiving a negative result. They will then be able to complete their self-isolation at home.
The latest measures are expected to remain in effect until Jan. 31.
Also:
The United States will restrict travel from South Africa and seven other African countries on Monday, Nov. 29, in a bid to control the spread of the new COVID-19 variant.
This is the new Xi Omnicron variant:
The newest variant of concern of the virus that causes COVID-19 causes unusual symptoms but those symptoms are mild, a top South African doctor says.
Dr. Angelique Coetzee practices in Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, one of the countries where the Omicron CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus variant was first detected earlier this month.
Coetzee recalled seeing a variety of patients enter with symptoms not associated with other CCP virus strains, including a high pulse rate.
“Their symptoms were so different and so mild from those I had treated before,” Coetzee told The Telegraph.
Most of the patients who turned up to her clinic and have tested positive for COVID-19 felt tired.
Other symptoms included sore muscles and a slight cough, Coetzee added to Sputnik.
“There are no prominent symptoms. Of those infected, some are currently being treated at home,” she said.
The most common symptoms from earlier variants include fever, dry cough, and loss of taste or smell, though some patients are known to have suffered from fatigue. A small subset of the infected require hospital care for their symptoms, and deaths are mostly among the elderly and people with serious underlying health conditions like obesity and kidney disease.
People with the Omicron variant were also identified in Botswana and later detected in a slate of other areas, including Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
Many nations have barred or restricted travel from southern Africa over the variant, citing concerns that it’s more transmissible.
It's not racist at all say the "experts" so stop pointing out that banning flights from China was racist but this isn't.
It is all consistently logical say the "experts":
If you Google “public health expert definition,” you’ll get 40 different answers from 40 different academic and government public health departments. Answers range from “professionals in the field struggle to define public health precisely” to “the science and art of preventing disease.”
That’s because public health isn’t a real science. Take it from me, as someone who studied another fake form of science (political science) in undergrad. Just as the “common good” is not good for everyone, Public Health suffers from the same innate failures as a health concept. What is good for Joe may not be good for Jane. What is best for Catherine may not be best for Carlos. An attempt to optimize and perfect “public health” will inevitably result in chaos, as we’ve seen play out over the course of the last year.
You can thank the “public health experts” for normalizing healthy quarantines, outdoor masking, 6 feet social distancing, nightly curfews, societal lockdowns and plenty of other baseless mystical population control measures that were enforced (and failed to succeed in combating a virus) in the name of science.
