This was disclosed by the Botswana government but seems to have gone unnoticed.
Botswana says that the new virus was detected on four foreign nationals who visited the country on 7 November. They tested positive on 11 November as they were preparing to return.
United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres said yesterday he was “deeply concerned about the isolation of southern African countries due to new COVID-19 travel restrictions.”
In a statement he said: “As I and others have long warned, low vaccine rates are a breeding ground for variants.
“The people of Africa cannot be blamed for the immorally low level of vaccinations available in Africa – and they should not be penalized for identifying and sharing crucial science and health information with the world.
“I appeal to all governments to consider repeated testing for travelers, together with other appropriate and truly effective measures, with the objective of avoiding the risk of transmission so as to allow for travel and economic engagement.”
