    Two international flight passengers who tested positive to COVID-19
    after arriving in Sydney have been confirmed as Australia’s first cases
    of the new Omicron variant of concern, after urgent genomic sequencing
    was completed on Sunday.

    The pair were passengers on Qatar Airways flight QR908 from Doha which
    landed at Sydney Airport at about 7pm on Saturday. They have been in
    isolation in special health accommodation since their arrival.

    In a statement, NSW Health said the pair were asymptomatic and both
    fully vaccinated.

    The other 260 passengers on the flight are now considered close contacts
    of a COVID-19 case and have been directed by health authorities to isolate.

    “It is an offence not to comply with a Public Health Order and penalties
    can apply,” NSW Health said. “Close contacts will be contacted
    regularly, and compliance checks will be undertaken.”

    In a statement on Sunday morning, NSW Health confirmed testing on
    arrival at Sydney Airport had identified two of the 14 passengers on the
    flight who had recently been in southern Africa had COVID-19, and urgent genomic sequencing was being carried out to determine whether they were infected by the new Omicron B.1.1.529 variant.

    It came hours after federal Health Minister Greg Hunt announced a
    two-week ban on non-citizens arriving from South Africa, Namibia,
    Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Seychelles, Malawi and Mozambique.

    Australian citizens arriving from those countries are now required to
    enter 14 days of supervised quarantine upon arrival in Australia.

    Another 15 arrivals from southern Africa arrived at Sydney Airport on an Emirates flight which landed around 11pm. All 29 have entered hotel
    quarantine.

    “The clear point today is that this clearly demonstrates the pandemic is
    not over,” Premier Dominic Perrottet said earlier on Sunday.

    “We need to learn to live alongside the virus and to live alongside the various strains of the virus that will come our way, and the best thing
    we can do is get vaccinated and get booster shots.”

    The Premier added that there were “limits” to what the government could
    do going forward to keep new variants out of Australia.

    “These variants will get into the country, it is inevitable,” Mr
    Perrottet said.

    Health Minister Brad Hazzard said it was possible the Omicron variant
    has already entered NSW, where fully vaccinated international arrivals
    have not been required to enter hotel quarantine since November 1.

    What we know about Omicron, the new coronavirus variant
    “This Omicron variant of the COVID virus is not well understood at this point,” Mr Hazzard said, noting that it only took three weeks for the
    Delta variant to spread to 53 countries.

    “We have to expect that Omicron may already be here.”

    NSW has so far recorded no cases of the Omicron variant in its genomic sequencing program.

    The state recorded another 185 cases of COVID-19 and zero deaths in the
    24 hours to 8pm on Saturday, NSW Health reported Sunday morning.

    Anyone who has already arrived in Australia and has been in any of the countries within the past 14 days, must immediately isolate themselves
    and get tested.

    Mr Hazzard asked anyone who had been in southern Africa in the past 14
    days to immediately contact NSW Health.

    In addition, both NSW and Victoria moved on Saturday night to introduce
    72-hour isolation requirements for all fully vaccinated international
    arrivals, regardless of their country of departure.

    On Sunday, the Premier stressed this was a “short-term precaution” in
    light of the changing situation.

    Europe, Britain and a host of other countries have also closed their
    borders to non-residents arriving from the same countries due to the
    emergence of the variant.

    Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt said there was one existing case of
    COVID-19 from southern Africa currently isolating at the Howard Springs quarantine facility in the Northern Territory, and that case will also
    be examined further to determine whether it is the concerning new variant.

    Despite concerns Omicron may be highly transmissible – even more so than Delta – Mr Perrottet said the state government was not planning to make
    any changes to the post-lockdown reopening road map, with restrictions
    still set to ease for unvaccinated people on December 15.

    The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in Australia/elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
    finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
    among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
    asymptomatic) in order to http://bit.ly/convince_it_forward (John
    15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
    doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
    best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
    mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
    Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via slip-replication to
    form hybrids that render current COVID vaccines/pills no longer
    effective.

    Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
    and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

    So how are you ?

    Australia is one of the countries that the low-lifes from your country
