health experts, meanwhile, are warning that omicron variant may already be here in the u.s. >> there's no way that it's in this many countries across the world, and it has not made it here into our shores. now that we have our eyes open for it, it's probably going to be days until we find it and confirm that there are cases here in the u.s. >> right now, there are studies to test how well covid vaccines work against this new strain, but with a high number of mutations the doctors say with the little we know about this variant is, quote, very worrying. >> we shouldn't panic just yet. the most important thing is to study the virus. just because this virus is more contagious, doesn't necessarily mean that it's more dangerous. >> now the cdc hasn't confirmed any cases of this new strain here in the u.s., but we know the delta variant is still out there and causing a lot of problems. we're covering every angle with our reporters around the globe. >> we start with cnn's polo sandoval at newark international airport where a flight from johannesburg is due to touch down around now ahead of tomorrow's travel restrictions from south africa as well as those other countries around south africa. walk us through what we can expect from tomorrow. >> reporter: yeah. alex, that flight that you just mentioned is arriving here at newark, left johannesburg last night. when you add it up, it's one of the final flights that won't be subjected to the new travel rules. the flight again in the process of actually arriving here at newark. when you hear from united airlines [ no audio ] >> all right. we are -- we've lost polo's audio. we'll try to get back to him. >> we will. >> let's move on to south africa. >> we'll take you to south africa now. that's where the omicron variant was detected. scientists are praising health officials for acting so quickly in response to it. >> cnn's david mckenzie joins us again live in johannesburg. in the wake of the revelation about that is variant by south africa, there have been angry reactions from both leaders and scientists, not just in that country where you are, but in surrounding countries as well. the president of malawi calling it a phobia. how are people, the leaders, the scientists reacting to these widespread travel bans? >> reporter: good morning, alex and christi. there's great frustration, i think, and also fear that these travel bans will hammer an already suffering economy. it harkens back to the earlier days of the pandemic. you mentioned the turkish airlines based on state media evacuating more than 40 passengers from capetown to turkey. remember, that's how we saw this pandemic in those first few months when it was unknown how bad this virus would be and there weren't any vaccines in play. now there are vaccines, but we still don't know a lot about this variant. here's what we don't know and based on my conversations with scientists here maybe can hint at the answers -- we don't know how transmissible it is. there is some early indications this may be more transmissible than delta, an already infectious variant, because you're seeing cases rise quickly from a low base, but the expectation is that this might be more transmissible. we don't know for sure. will it evade previous infection? immunity? what scientists are trying to do over the next few weeks, alex, is work in the labs and to try to really get a sense if this evades immunity from previous infection. there is some sense it might evade some immunity, but a bigger question for those countries that have high levels of vaccination, will this stop vaccines from working? now the very early indication from scientists i'm speaking to, just based on their gut feel and maybe some incidental evidence, is it could still be effective, these existing vaccines, to a large degree against this variant, but they don't know for sure. of course, there are parts of the world, including many parts of africa, where vaccines are just not available. finally, how severe is this virus? is it similar to previous variants like delta, like alpha, or somehow worse? at this stage, there's no evidence this is more severe, and the hospitals in south africa are not seeing a rush in the icus. again, just too early to tell. >> so many questions and it's likely to take weeks to get the answers. david mckenzie, thank you very much. now in israel, they've gone a step farther than most countries and they're banning all foreigners from entering israel in response to these omicron fears. the country has been in many ways a leader during this pandemic and is also taking other steps now to contain the pred of the virus. >> cnn correspondent ha das gould is in israel. talk to us about what you're learning there in israel? >> reporter: well, christi, right now there are seven suspected cases an one confirmed case of this new variant. the confirmed case is from somebody who had recently returned from malawi. four of the suspected cases were from people who returned from abroad, suggesting the three other cases may have been transmitted locally. as you noted the israeli government pretty quickly decided to bar all foreigners from entering israel for two weeks. keep in mind on november 1st is when they finally opened up the country to vaccinated tourists an now closing everything down for two weeks. any israeli who is returning to the country, no matter where they are coming from or their vaccination status, must be in quarantine for three days and get two negative pcr tests before they can be released from quarantine. if unvaccinated that quarantine is seven days. any israelis who are in red countries, most of the countries in africa aside from the northern countries, will be brought into special quarantine hotels. again, regardless of their vaccination status. they can be transferred to their home isolation if they get a negative pcr test. anybody who has a suspected or confirm case of this new variant, the israeli government says they will be tracked via their cell phones via the israeli security services to keep track on exactly where they are. besides that, there are no new restrictions in place for gatherings, especially as the hanukkah festival is expected to start tonight. they aren't putting new restrictions to those parties, to those public events. i should note in just two weeks from today, the miss universe pageant is expected to take place in southern israel and so far the authorities and the organizers say they do expect that competition to go on as planned. christie and alex? >> we appreciate it so much. thank you. so the white house says president biden is closely tracking the omicron variant as it raises these concerns across the globe. the president did decide friday, remember, to shut down travel from several south african countries starting this week, and we know that he was briefed again yesterday on this new strain. >> and cnn's jasmine wright joins us from the white house. jasmine, what else is the white house doing now to learn more and to track this new variant? >> reporter: well, alex you're right. the president will face a new test in his administration's response to the pandemic today when he returns back to d.c. remember, it's one thing that officials have told me and my colleagues over the last few months, which is that the best way they feel to turn this country around is to get beyond the pandemic. of course, with the emergence of that new variant, that goal could possibly be threatened. as you said earlier there have been no known confirmed cases ntsd u.s., but, of course, officials are concerned that it could already be kind of circulating within the country and that concern led to the travel ban that president biden instituted or announced on friday that goes into effect on monday from south africa and seven other countries in the region. back to your initial question, alex, of what more is this administration doing? that's one of the questions that president and health officials are going to have to face this week, whether or not they could be doing more, taking more precautions, trying to get ahead of this variant if it is in the u.s. the vice president was out shopping yesterday in d.c. and she was asked that question. take a listen to her answer. >> the president has said we're going to take every precaution and that's why we've taken the measures we have. >> any additional travel restrictions? >> we'll take it one step at a time, but as of now we have done what we believe is necessary. >> reporter: we heard kamala harris describing step by step where the administration is, but also leaving us wondering what those next steps could be as health officials are really working around the clock, talking to their counterparts around the globe, trying to learn more about this variant. alex? christi? >> jasmine wright, thank you very much. jasmine at the white house. joining us now is someone who has been feeling the current strain of this virus, david clay, the president of the deerborn acute kills campus for beaumont health, the largest health care system in michigan. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you, alex. thank you for having me on this morning. >> i want to talk specifically about michigan which is approaching last year's record numbers of covid patients in hospitals. what is different this time this year? >> yeah. i think what's different this year is that, you know, we -- you know, everyone is back to moving around and we've seen people coming back to health care, getting the health care that they delayed. last year people, when the -- when we saw the increasing numbers of covid people stayed away from health care, which is not good, it causes their illnesses to be worse to delay getting care. this time that's not the case, they're coming back and seeking that care which is fantastic. nothing is worse than seeing people have more severe illness that could have been treated or prevented. on top of that having covid, which has made it difficult, you know, on our staff and teams. >> when you look at the vaccination rates in michigan, they are below the national average, not by much, but a couple percentage points. in the face of these rising numbers, what do you think can be done to ease those concerns? do you think the new variant is going to affect anything? >> yeah. actually we're really concerned about the new variant. we really encourage people -- we understand it's a personal choice and personal decision, but we really encourage people to get the vaccination, especially now with this new variant coming out. our concerns are that things will continue to get worse and deteriorate. >> what is the status right now in your hospitals, in your system? can they cope with this growing -- what is expected to be another surge? >> yeah. you know, we're going through surges right now at most of the hospitals and my hospital in particular. it's been a struggle just because the patients are so sick and the amount of time it takes with each patient is so much that all of our teams, whether it's our nurses or respiratory therapists or support staff, everybody is chipping in. at times it can be overwhelming and frustrating for the team. >> the federal government is sending help to your hospitals, a team of federal medical personnel. they're arriving this week. how much of a help is that going to be for your current staff? >> yeah. it's a team of 22 individuals from the department of defense. it's huge. they're going to help out a ton in our emergency rooms that are, you know -- we have a lot of people in the rooms, waiting for beds to move upstairs into our inpatient units. it will be a huge help to oversee and take care of those patients. >> the current plan is for that team to be in place for some 30 days. do you think that that is going to be enough time? do you think that the team is big enough to help you get through this? >> yeah. we would always love to have it for a longer period of time. i do think that they will have a significant impact. we just had thanksgiving and we'll see over the next search to ten days how many people get covid from being at family events. that didn't mask or wash their hands or seshlly distance. we do think they will play a significant impact in helping us get through the next 30 days. >> it's not just the end of thanksgiving now. we're heading into the christmas season, new year's. how concerned are you about people getting together then and traveling around those holidays? >> yeah. very concerned. you know, the vaccine plays a huge role in reducing the risks and the severity of the illness and that's what we've seen so far. you know, we're obviously very concerned, as families get together who haven't been together before, with members now being vaccinated or being possible carriers or being sick to see their families, makes us nervous. it's not the flu or a cold. it's covid, and it has consequences. >> and back to your staff, it's been nearly two years that, you know, they've been facing all these people streaming in with this horrible virus. talk to me about how they're holding up and especially in the face of what looks like a new surge? >> yeah. you know, it's difficult. i will get a little bit emotional about it just because they're working really hard and you know they're tired. we thought we would get relief with the vaccine, and we haven't been able to. it's just difficult. you want to put your team in the best position to be successful an it's hard when there's things that are just completely abnormal and out of your control. they're amazing people and doing amazing jobs, and i couldn't be more proud of them. >> yeah. very much out of all of our control. thanks so much to you and your team. thanks for coming on this morning. >> thank you. so as we look at this omicron variant, europe is already feeling some impact here. we're going to have a closer look for you at the measures countries are taking to stop that spread. and hitting the ground running after the thanksgiving break. we're going to be taking a closer look at what lawmakers need to get done in washington. that's coming up. for a rest day. ...so i can be ready for anything... tomorrow. find out what's strong with you with fitbit sense and daily readiness. >> man: what's my safelite story?

>> christi, alex, lawmakers took this last week off for thanksgiving recess, but when they return tomorrow, it's going be to incredibly busy. a long list, kind. first on the list, as you said, they need to address government funding. it's set to run out on december 3rd. senate majority leader chuck schumer says they plan to pass a short funding bill to pass a larger spending package, known as a continuing resolution. that is what they're going to do first. probably the most important thing they need to address is the debt ceiling. right now, the nation is set to default on its debt on december 15th, something treasury secretary, janet yellen, has been warning again. while mitch mcconnell has said that democrats need to go at this alone, mcconnell schumer reached a short-term deal. there was a breakthrough in discussions between the two party leaders in the senate. they actually had a meeting to discuss the debt ceiling, while they did not announce a breakthrough, it does seem they resumed discussions to go at this together. we'll learn more when they come back from recess this coming week. another thing that the senate needs to address is the national defense authorization act, which lays out the priorities for the defense spending for congress. now, they also are planning to tack on schumer announced they're planning to tack on a separate bill to the ndaa that would also address competition with china and supply chain issues. a lot that they have on their list, including the build back better act, which i didn't even mention, so they have a long list of issues they need to address when they come back before the end of the year. >> daniella diaz, good to see you, thank you. there's an 11-year-old girl seriously wounded in the waukesha parade tragedy. she's on a ventilator, fighting for her life. this is according to her mother and she says she's recovering from a broken pelvis, skull fracture, and other injuries. there is a gofundme page set up to help with medical expenses. we'll keep you posted on her condition and what's happening there. >> our thoughts are with that family. in wisconsin, there has been a rare show of bipartisanship. both of the state senators are warning outsiders to not exploit the tragedy that happened in waukesha. six people were killed and dozens wounded last weekend when a driver plowed his suv into a christmas parade. those senators are democrat tameny baldwin and republican ron johnson. they issued a cease and desist statement. they did not specify what kind of actions they're concerned about, but they warned against people using that tragedy for their own political purposes. >> more ahead on "new day." first, during the 1920s, the osage people of oklahoma were some of the richest people in the world, but as lisa ling uncovers, that wealth made them a target. discover a horrific plot carried out to steal owe saj land and money. you can watch a new "this is life with lisa ling" tonight at 10:00 on cnn. certified turbocharger, suspension and fuel injection. translation: certified goosebumps. certified from headlamp to tailpipe. that's certified ad turns. and it's all backed by r unlimited mileage warranty. that means unlimited peace of mind. mercedes-benz certified pre-owne translation: the mercedes of your dreams is closer than you think.

>> reporter: well, you know, there's a lot of panic here across europe. you have to remember that the w.h.o. had just said ta europe was a new epi center of the current wave of the pandemic before omicron made its way into the european union. now of the flights that came into the netherlands from south africa, 61 people tested positive for covid when they landed. now authorities are sure that omicron is among those cases. that's just got everybody in a bit of a panic here because vaccines are very low here. relatively, though, i should say they're not much lower than in the united states for the most part. the booster programs across europe haven't kicked off and haven't vaccinated a lot of young people. all that on the back of this new threat of the omicron variant and every single country in europe has a different approach to how they'll handle it. some say we'll put on more maskss and social distancing. in the uk they want everyone tested and into quarantine before arrival. it's scattershot. that's going to be a difficult issue going forward. people like to travel. there are no travel restrictions among european countries yet, but everyone is concerned that that could be in store for us here. >> that is so important, how easy it is to travel between the countries. thank you very much. >> thank you. let's talk about south korea because they're tightening their border against travellers from eight southern african countries to prevent the spread of the variant. >> cnn international correspondent paula hancocks is live from seoul, south korea. south korea now joining this growing list of countries imposing the travel restrictions. what are south korean officials say? >> reporter: alex, it's just a matter of days ago i was talking about how south korea was opening up, started their living with covid process, but clearly that seems to be a thing of the past at this point. they have banned travelers coming in from eight southern african countries at this point. they said they're going to suspend the issuing of visas for nationals from those countries coming from those countries. even korean nationals, coming in from the affected areas, they will have to do a ten-day government facility quarantine. up until now they've been exempt from quarantine or have to quarantine at home. that is going to change from these particular areas. they've pointed out that there will be some exceptions, some humanitarian exceptions. for example, coming for a funeral they could work with the individual on that. interestingly, the korean version of the cdc is saying that they're going to try to develop now a test, a pcr test, which can specifically target and pin point this new variant. south korea has been up front and ahead of many countries when it comes to testing capabilities. they were one of the first back in the beginning of 2020. certainly good news they are going to try to develop that kind of capability. but this isn't just south korea. it's also around asia and around the world. australia, for example, has just recently opened up to some of its citizens being allowed to come home, so finally seeing loved ones after close to two years that country was isolated. they're stepping back from certain countries. some of the nationals flying from those countries were taken by surprise. the rules changed as they were flying, and they arrived to find out they had to do 14 days quarantine, which they weren't expecting. there's very fast decisions being made at this point around asia. officials say they just want to buy some time to figure out what they're dealing with. >> those new tests will be so important. paula hancocks, in seoul, south korea, thank you very much. i know you've heard about the labor shortages obviously affecting businesses across the country. have you heard about the hidden helpers that are stepping up to fill in the gap?
