Singapore has been removed from India's list of "at-risk" countries, where visitors must comply with additional steps upon arrival, including post-arrival testing. The United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil, Botswana, China, Ghana, Mauritius, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Hong Kong, and Israel are among the countries on the current list of "at-risk" countries. This comes as Omicron has been recorded in 57 nations, with the World Health Organization (WHO) expecting the figure to rise.
In response to the development of highly mutant Covid-19 variant B.1.1529 or Omicron cases, India added many countries to the list of nations from which travellers would need to take extra precautions upon arriving, including post-arrival infection testing.
On November 25, the World Health Organization (WHO) received the first report of a novel COVID-19 strain from South Africa. According to the WHO, the first confirmed B.1.1.529 infection was discovered in a sample obtained on November 9 of this year. The new COVID-19 variation B.1.1.529, which was discovered in South Africa, was given the name 'Omicron' by the WHO on November 26. Omicron is a 'variant of concern,' according to the World Health Organization.
