Two more Omicron cases in NSW
By Mary Ward
Two additional cases of the new Omicron variant of concern have been confirmed in recent international arrivals in Sydney.
The two cases, who were reported as suspected cases of the variant this morning, arrived on Singapore Airlines flight SQ211 yesterday and tested positive on arrival.
People on this flight are considered close contacts of a COVID-19 case and will be contacted by NSW Health.
The travellers had both recently been in southern Africa and were fully vaccinated. They have been in NSW Health's Special Health Accommodation since disembarking the plane, as has been the procedure for all arrivals from southern Africa since Saturday.
Yesterday, two people who had recently been in South Africa and caught a Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Sydney, landing on Saturday, were confirmed as the first cases of Omicron in Australia. Federal Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly said this morning the pair were young and asymptomatic.
There are now five confirmed cases of the Omicron variant in Australia, including a man who arrived at the Northern Territory’s Howard Springs facility on a repatriation flight from Johannesberg on November 25.

Should be everywhere now. The variant was discovered weeks ago but only last week became famous.
Maybe incubation period is longer, now waking up....

Gosh, that means the two of them likely had passed Omicron to other passengers or airport staff during transit in SG. It's going to be like the Delta leak all over again at Changi.

If they have done PCR before boarding the plane, how can they on board the plane? Unless PCR also cannot detect the birus

From the time you get infection to the time your body shows symptoms will take 10–14 days...so you might have had close contact with Covid virus, your PCR test result 72 hr before departure is still negative....after you land in another country your new PCR test may show positive or your PCR tests 10 days later shows positive

We cannot take chances, cos the Omicron virus is very contagious......
