How to Travel With the New Covid Strain Omicron?

How to travel with the New Covid Strain Omicron. The World Health Organisation had pleaded with world leaders not to engage in knee-jerk reactions and has cautioned against the imposition of travel restrictions when the news about Omicron emerged.

This is specifically damaging to the World Tourism Industry at a time a bright light of recovery was shining. This optimism was destroyed within hours just two days ago when European countries immediately started to shut down travel to Southern Africa. This was followed by a U.S. travel ban directed by President Biden.

It traveled already to Germany, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, brought in by passengers onboard international flights. This virus within a day is no longer an isolated South African issue.

Even though countries including the United Kingdom reacted within hours in closing borders, canceling flights between the UK and South Africa, it could not stop this virus from crossing internationally. It was already in Europe and Hong Kong before the rest of the world didn’t even know about it.

This trend of restricting flights to Southern Africa is now isolating Southern Africa, closing its travel and tourism industry. Just today Qatar and even Seychelles announced the closure of borders and air links.

A low vaccination rate due to the availability of the vaccine is also true in countries just a few miles away from US borders, including many Caribbean nations.

The World Tourism Network is urging UNWTO, WHO, WTTC, IATA, governments, and the travel industry to push for a slightly different way to get on top of the problem. WTN feels this approach would not destroy the vital travel and tourism industry, and allow an optimistic approach for this industry to function and prosper with COVID-19.

Such an approach has been working for some countries, including Israel. How?

  1. Before every International flight require a rapid PCR test at the airport or within 24 hours prior to departure, even for those fully vaccinated.
  2. Assure that everyone on board an international flight is fully vaccinated.
  3. Influenca is a type of Coronavirus and often cannot be distinguished with COVID-19, make it mandatory for passengers to have a flue vaccination, especially during the flue season.

How to travel with the New Covid Strain Omicron. Rapid PCR tests are an ideal option for anyone who needs accurate results quickly, such as someone who needs results for travel within 15 minutes away from departure, or when experiencing Covid-19 symptoms.

Rapid PCR tests are nasal swab diagnostics. They work by detecting specific genetic materials belonging to the virus. PCR tests look for the material that is found inside the virus on a molecular level, rather than looking for the proteins that are found on the virus’ surface, as antigen tests do.
