At least 13 cases of the new Omicron Covid-19 variant have been confirmed in the Netherlands, the Dutch health authorities said on Sunday. The strain with a high number of mutations has sparked concerns around the world.
All the cases have been found in passengers that came to the Netherlands on flights from South Africa earlier this week, the Dutch National Institute for Health (RIVM) said in a statement, adding that the investigation has not been completed yet and “the new variant may be found in more test samples.”
