Fauci says officials feel 'very badly' about African travel ban, will reevaluate policy
Fox News
Dr. Anthony Fauci revealed that officials are re-evaluating the travel ban on several southern African countries after a dozen other countries confirmed cases of the COVID-19 omicron variant.
Officials in South Africa, the U.N. and WHO criticized the decision to lockout "one part of the world" in response to new information, with one official referring to the action as "travel apartheid."
Other nations, including the United States, have now confirmed cases of the omicron variant within their borders, and Fauci said the U.S. is looking to reevaluate the travel ban in the face of the new information – but did not say when they might lift the ban.
