California man returns from South Africa with Omicron variant

 Epoch Times:

The first case of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus Omicron variant was detected in California, officials said Wednesday.

Genomic sequencing conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, and confirmed by scientists with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the case was caused by the variant.

The patient traveled from South Africa on Nov. 22, started experiencing symptoms on Nov. 25, and tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 29.

The person, a San Francisco resident who has not been publicly identified, is self-isolating.

All of the person’s close contacts have been contacted and, thus far, all have tested negative for COVID-19, a disease caused by the CCP virus.

...

It probably will not be the last such case.
