Many countries in Europe and Asia began a ban immediately on travel in order to avoid the surge of this new variant as well as curb the spread of another wave of the pandemic.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reacted to their decision, calling on countries to keep calm and take “rational” measures in response to the new Omicron variant.
