November 29, 2021 "South Africa should earn a gold medal for the quality of its science and transparency in detecting the Omicron variant of the coronavirus and not face travel bans." This was said by a spokeswoman for the World Health Organization (WHO), Margaret Harris, speaking to CNN.
"We haven't seen enough of this, namely transparency in particular. And indeed, making South Africa feel that doing all things right leads to a very bad outcome is not a good thing," added Harris, who said this could also be a bad thing. a deterrent to transparency for the rest of the world.
