6:08Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden is expected to give an update on the COVID-19 Omicron variant.
The new mutation was detected in South Africa and it is making its way around the world. The only cases in North America so far are in Canada, but experts say it's probably in the United States as well. To keep clusters from growing, the U.S. has restricted travel from South Africa and other African nations. Meanwhile, health experts are closely watching COVID-19 cases after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Dr. Sophia Deben, a board-certified surgeon and health sciences expert, joins "Start Your Day" to discuss the latest.
