Nigeria Detects 49 Omicron COVID-19 Cases — NCDC

Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says Nigeria has recorded 49 cases of the Omicron COVID variant.

Gatekeepers News reports that the NCDC disclosed this during a media briefing.

The NCDC said 13,758 sequences had been uploaded on GISAID, a global epidemic database, as at December 20.

On December 1, the NCDC recorded three cases of the new variant in Nigeria.

Days later, three additional cases were recorded.

The index case of Omicron was detected in South Africa and the World Health Organisation (WHO) had subsequently designated Omicron as a “variant of concern”, calling on global leaders to take action to contain its spread.
