Much is still unknown about a new variant sparking global travel restrictions. But it’s already clear some states are better prepared for a new surge than others.

The new coronavirus variant has triggered a wave of mass panic across the globe. Is the frenzy justified?

The WHO has warned the world to prepare for the super-scary variant, but U.S. authorities have not imposed any new testing or tracing ahead of Monday’s travel ban.

The top infectious disease expert sounded the alarm bells over the “troublesome” Omicron variant, saying it “might evade immune protection” from vaccines.

Meanwhile, the head of the South African Medical Association has said that the cases found so far in the country did not appear to be severe.

The United States is bracing for a potential onslaught of the new super-mutated COVID variant.

Global studies are showing that a third jab is not a “booster,” it’s an essential element of the vaccination. And we shouldn’t have given the first two doses so close together.
