In the Netherlands, 61 passengers were found to have Covid-19 after arriving from South Africa

The infected are currently being quarantined in one of the hotels near Schiphol Airport, where all 600 passengers on both flights were forced to wait for the test results on Friday.

Those infected will have to spend seven days in quarantine if they show symptoms of the disease, and five days if they do not.

On the other hand, passengers who have passed the tests must go in self-isolation if they remain in the Netherlands.

Scientists in the Republic of South Africa reported on Thursday that they had identified a new variant of Covid-19 with a large number of mutations responsible for the rapid increase in infections.

In South Africa, the worst affected country in Covid-19, the number of new infections registered in a single day has increased tenfold since the beginning of the month, from 106 to around 1,200.

In response, many countries, including the European Union (EU), have suspended flights from southern Africa.

Scientists believe the new variant may be more contagious than the Covid-19 delta or Indian variant, as well as more resistant to current Covid-19 vaccines. The 15th letter of the Greek alphabet – omicron – has been assigned to denote the new type of virus.
