Uganda has confirmed nine cases of the Omicron Covid-19 variant as intimated by a highly placed source at the Ministry of Health.

The Omicron Covid-19 variant was first identified by scientists in South Africa and Botswana in late November.

The variant has health experts riled up as they fear that the new variant might not respond to treatment to the current Covid-19 vaccines.

The variant is reportedly more lethal and transmittable.

The variant has since been confirmed in seven Southern African countries of Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Malawi.

The European Union, United Kingdom, United States of America, and Canada are some of those countries that have since imposed new travel bans and measures, blocking entry to all travelers from the eight Southern African countries.

Uganda is set to open up fully in January, but with new cases of omicron, it remains to be seen if the country will open up.
