Izindaba

Izikhulu zezempilo zaseNingizimu Afrika zithi cishe izingxenye ezintathu kwezine ze-virus genome ezilandelanayo ngenyanga edlule ziyingxenye entsha.
Izikhulu zezempilo zasendaweni zathi njengoba kutholakala izinhlobo ezintsha zokuqala emazweni amaningi, okuhlanganisa ne-United States, okuhlukile kwe-Omicron kube nomthelela ekwandeni “okukhathazayo” kwamacala e-coronavirus eNingizimu Afrika futhi ngokushesha kwaba inkinga enkulu.
I-United Arab Emirates kanye neSouth Korea, esezivele zilwa nalolu bhubhane olubhebhethekayo futhi ziqopha izifo zansuku zonke, nazo ziwaqinisekisile amacala okuhluka kwe-Omicron.
UDkt. Michelle Groome weNational Institute of Infectious Diseases (NICD) eNingizimu Afrika uthe isibalo sabantu abangenwe yilesi sifo sikhule kakhulu emasontweni amabili edlule, sisuka esilinganisweni sabantu ababalelwa ku-300 abantu abasha ngosuku ngesonto saya kwabayinkulungwane ngesonto eledlule. okwakamuva kube yizi-3,500. NgoLwesithathu, iNingizimu Afrika iqophe amacala ayi-8,561. Esontweni eledlule, izibalo zansuku zonke beziyi-1,275.
I-NICD ithe u-74% wawo wonke ama-virus genomes ahlelwe ngenyanga edlule awohlobo olusha, olutholwe okokuqala kusampula elaqoqwa eGauteng, okuyisifundazwe esinabantu abaningi eNingizimu Afrika, ngoNovemba 8.
I-KellyMed inikele ngephampu efakwayo, iphampu yesirinji kanye nephampu yokuphakelayo eMnyangweni Wezempilo waseNingizimu Afrika ukuze kunqobe lolu hlobo lwegciwane.

Nakuba kusenemibuzo ebalulekile mayelana nokusabalala kwezinhlobonhlobo ze-Omicron, ochwepheshe bamagange ukunquma izinga lokuvikela elihlinzekwa umgomo. Udokotela wezifo eziwumqedazwe weWorld Health Organisation (WHO) uMaria van Kerkhove uthe esithangamini naso ukuthi imininingwane mayelana nokutheleleka kwe-Omicron kufanele inikezwe “ezinsukwini ezimbalwa.”
I-NICD ithe idatha yangaphambi kwesikhathi ye-epidemiological ikhombisa ukuthi i-Omicron ingagwema ukungatheleleki okuthile, kodwa umgomo okhona kusafanele uvikele ukugula nokufa. Uğur Şahin, oyi-CEO ye-BioNTech, uthe umgomo owukhiqizayo ngokubambisana ne-Pfizer ungase unikeze isivikelo esiqinile ezifweni ezimbi zika-Omicron.
Ngenkathi uhulumeni elindele ukuthi kuvele isimo esibanzi, ohulumeni abaningi bayaqhubeka nokuqinisa imingcele emizamweni yokuvimbela ukusabalala kwaleli gciwane.
ISouth Korea yabeka imingcele yokuhamba eyengeziwe lapho kutholwa amacala amahlanu okuqala e-Omicron, futhi kunokukhathazeka okukhulayo kokuthi lokhu kuhluka okusha kungase kuthinte ukuqhubeka kwayo kwe-Covid.
Iziphathimandla zikumise ukukhululwa kokuvalelwa bodwa kwabahambi abangena ngaphakathi abagonywe ngokuphelele amasonto amabili, futhi manje badinga ukuvalelwa izinsuku eziyi-10.
Isibalo sansuku zonke sezifo zaseNingizimu Korea sifinyelele irekhodi elingaphezu kuka-5,200 XNUMX ngoLwesine, futhi kunokukhathazeka okukhulayo kokuthi isibalo seziguli ezinezimpawu ezinzima senyuke kakhulu.
Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga, izwe ladambisa imingcele - izwe seligome ngokuphelele abantu abadala abacishe babe ngama-92% - kepha isibalo sezifo sanda kusukela lapho, futhi ukuba khona kuka-Omicron kukhulise ukukhathazeka okusha ngengcindezi ohlelweni lwesibhedlela oseluvele lunzima.
EYurophu, umongameli wesigungu esiphezulu se-European Union wathi nakuba ososayensi beye banquma ubungozi bayo, abantu “baqhudelana nesikhathi” ukuze bagweme lokhu kuhlukahluka. I-EU izokwethula umuthi wokugomela izingane ezineminyaka ephakathi kwemi-5 neyi-11 isonto elilodwa ngaphambi komhla ziyi-13 kuZibandlela.
UMongameli Wekhomishini YaseYurophu u-Ursula von der Lein uthe esithangamini sabezindaba: “Zilungiselele okubi kakhulu futhi uzilungiselele okungcono kakhulu.”
Kokubili i-United Kingdom ne-United States bandise izinhlelo zabo zokuthuthukisa ukuze babhekane nezinhlobonhlobo ezintsha, futhi i-Australia ibuyekeza amathayimithebula abo.
Uchwepheshe ophambili wezifo ezithathelwanayo waseMelika u-Anthony Fauci ugcizelele ukuthi abantu abadala abagonywe ngokugcwele kufanele bafune ama-booster lapho befaneleka ukuzinikeza isivikelo esingcono kakhulu.
Ngaphandle kwalokhu, i-WHO iveze kaningi ukuthi inqobo nje uma i-coronavirus ivunyelwe ukusabalala ngokukhululeka phakathi kwenani elikhulu labantu abangagonyiwe, izoqhubeka nokukhiqiza okuhlukile okusha.
UMqondisi-Jikelele we-WHO u-Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus uthe: “Emhlabeni wonke, izinga lomgomo wethu wokugoma liphansi, futhi izinga lokutholwa liphansi kakhulu-lena imfihlo yokukhiqiza kabusha nokukhulisa ukuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo,” kukhumbuza umhlaba ukuthi ukuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo zeDelta “kubangela cishe zonke izinhlobo zezakhi zofuzo. yazo. Amacala”.
“Kumele sisebenzise amathuluzi esivele sinawo ukuze sinqande ukubhebhetheka futhi sisindise impilo yeDelta Air Lines. Uma senza kanjalo sizovimba nokusabalala sisindise izimpilo zika-Omicron,” kusho yena
