A corresponding decree, signed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, was published on Friday [December 10 2021].<\/p>\n<p>According to it, these countries include \u201cBotswana, Zimbabwe, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People\u2019s Republic of China, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Eswatini, the Republic of South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the anti-coronavirus crisis center reported that the entry of foreigners residing in Hong Kong or in some African countries would be restricted due to the spread of the new strain of the infection.<\/p>\n<p>On November 26, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated the B.1.1.529 variant identified in South Africa as a \u201cVariant of Concern\u201d and assigned it the Greek letter Omicron. In its statement, the WHO noted that \u201cthis variant has a large number of mutations, some of which are concerning.\u201d The epicenter of the spread of the Omicron strain is southern Africa. The highest number of those infected with it has been detected in South Africa. The new strain has already been recorded in over 50 countries.
