6:15Now Playing“DC Today” host Del Walters kicked off Monday with a friendly holiday reminder that a new COVID-19 variant is among us.
Walters say it’s important to continue wear facial coverings in an effort to protect not only yourself, but others. He is joined by chief foreign affairs correspondent Nayyera Haqq to discuss the Omicron COVID-19 variant, which was discovered in South Africa and has sent governments scrambling worldwide. Japan, European Union, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Hong Kong and Canada have all reported new cases of the variant. Haqq says the global consensus is that fear is overtaking science, giving countries which already had anti-immigrant and anti-migrant sentiments an excuse to close their borders.
