Omicron still not fully understood - is transmission faster, does it reduce vaccine efficacy, is it as hard to mitigate outbreaks Delta? Until +90% vacc coverage of total pop (not just +12yr) quarantine must be supervised for every traveller from every country. Test day-1, 4, 5.

Let’s treat it like the plague. If it’s not, we can relax, but if it is, we might be on the front foot for once.

Totally agreeable Marylouise. I’m sorry to say that people can’t be trusted to isolate on their own.

Specialists in Sth Africa who have dealt with many infectious diseases have already said Omicron is no worse than any covid variant. Vaccinations repel it quite easy
