Racist shits.

I don’t see why race has anything to do with it. More like our low uptake on the vaccinations.

These countries owe us nothing.

Oh, and add Qatar to the list. Just got an email saying tomorrows fights are cancelled.

Didn’t add Belgium to the red list now did they?

And they bought all the fucking vaccines so no wonder we’re behind.

Quite brutal treatment in the Netherlands, SA flight was in the air when they brought in their travel ban.

The plane landed and was then isolated, no one on or off and held for around 5 hours before the passengers were removed into some form of quarantine detention.

This reporter was on board.

10% got invected en route!

61 travellers from South Africa test positive for Covid-19 after arriving in Netherlands

Dutch health authorities said that 61 people who arrived in Amsterdam on two flights from South Africa on Friday tested positive for Covid-19, and they were conducting further testing early Saturday to see if any of the infections are with the recently discovered Omicron coronavirus variant.

Around 600 passengers arrived at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on the two KLM flights on Friday and then faced hours of delays and testing due to concerns over the new virus variant. The Dutch health ministry said early Saturday 61 tests had come back positive.

"Travelers with a positive test result will be placed in isolation at a hotel at or near Schiphol," health authorities said in a statement. "Of the positive test results, we are researching as quickly as possible whether they are the new variant of concern, now named 'Omicron'."

The Dutch government banned all air travel from southern Africa early on Friday. Health Minister Hugo de Jonge determined that passengers already en route to the Netherlands would have to undergo testing and quarantine upon arrival.

Passengers on the two KLM flights, from Cape Town and Johannesburg, said they were kept waiting on the tarmac for hours.

The new variant has been detected just as many European countries are grappling with a surge in coronavirus cases. The Dutch government separately on Friday announced the night time closure of bars, restaurants and most stores as it tries to curb a record-breaking wave of Covid-19 cases that is swamping its healthcare system.
