On 27 November, EgyptAir announced the suspension of flights to and from Johannesburg, South Africa, after the World Health Organisation (WHO) classified Omicron, the new coronavirus variant, as “of concern”.
Many countries worldwide have suspended travel to and from South Africa, although the WHO has encouraged countries not to impose flight suspensions due to concerns about the new COVID-19 variant.
In response, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa condemned the travel bans enacted against his country in a presidential statement.
