(Just The News) Country “may have passed the peak of the fourth wave,” government says.
by Staff Writer, January 1st, 2021
he South African government this week said that the country’s current wave of SARS-CoV-2 omicron infections may be on the way out, weeks after the nation became the first in the world to identify the new variant.
“All indicators suggest the country may have passed the peak of the fourth wave at a national level,” the South African government said in a statement late this week.
The country became the center of international focus earlier in the fall when it was the first to identify the newly arisen omicron variant of the virus.
That revelation led to a flurry of new restrictions and lockdowns around the world, including multiple travel bans to and from South Africa from major nations.
Officials in South Africa had warned hasty action in response to the variant, arguing that early signs suggested it was a much milder form of the virus than earlier mutations.
Evidence in the weeks since appears to have borne those earlier assumptions out, with omicron being postulated to be far less severe than notable variants such as Delta.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
