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.
