A group of eminent South African scientists has warned that the damaging effects of travel bans issued after the identification of the Omicron variant in South Africa, with little scientific data to back it up, was not only unwarranted and deeply damaging to the country but also could potential.
The Federated Hospitality Association of Southern Africa (FEDHASA) says it's hopeful that the decision by a number of countries to add South Africa and several neighbouring countries to their red list will be lifted soon.
The Federated Hospitality Association of Southern Africa is worried by news of Britain bringing back travel restrictions for South Africa due to a new COVID-19 variant.
‘Our industry has had to endure being thrust from wave to wave for the past 20 months and it simply isn’t sustainable to keep businesses open and livelihoods intact,’ said FEDHASA National Chairperson Rosemary Anderson.
