Kenya has detected its first three cases of the Omicron variant among travellers, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said on Wednesday.
“We have detected the Omicron variant particularly among travellers [at] the airports and so it’s just a matter of time before it becomes dominant worldwide,” said the Health CS.
He added that the government is currently engaging South Africa and countries where the Omicron variant is spreading very fast on how to deal with it.
Last week, Uganda announced it had detected cases of the Omicron Covid-19 variant in travellers coming into the country, the first infections to be reported in East Africa.
