ACT leader David Seymour is calling for "calm and clarity" in the face of the new Omicron variant, warning we can't afford a repeat of the Government's handling of Delta.
Recently identified in South Africa, Omicron could be several times more infectious than the original coronavirus and it's unclear how effective current vaccines are against it.

A Kiwi epidemiologist is urging calm over the emergence of the 'Omicron' variant of COVID-19, saying there's no solid proof it's as bad as the headlines would have us believe - yet.
First discovered in South Africa thanks to its sophisticated virus-tracking infrastructure, Omicron appears to have taken two weeks to displace the highly infectious Delta variant. It has many more mutations too - including on the spike protein - linked to increased transmissibility and raising concerns it could render vaccines less effective.

A newly identified coronavirus variant that has spread in South Africa is the most concerning that British health officials have yet seen as it has double the number of mutations of the Delta variant, including some associated with evading immune response.
The UK announced it was temporarily banning flights from South Africa and five other countries from 1200 GMT on Friday and returning British travellers from those destinations would have to quarantine.
