President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Akinwumi Adesina has called on world leaders not to label or penalise African nations for new COVID-19 variants and mutations happening across the world.<\/p>\n

One of the strong advocates of equity in vaccine distribution, Adesina said\u00a0this in a series of tweets on Sunday in the wake of the new COVID-19<\/a> variant spreading and causing panic.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, South Africa\u2019s National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) announced the discovery of the new variant of coronavirus known as B.1.1.529.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organisation (WHO)<\/a> later tagged it \u201cOmicron\u201d and designated it a \u2018variant of concern\u2019 (VOC) because of its \u201cconcerning\u201d number of mutations.<\/p>\n

Scientists had said the new Omicron could evade the body\u2019s immune response, making it more transmissible.<\/p>\n

Apart from South Africa, the new variant has been detected in\u00a0Belgium, Botswana, Israel, United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. Since the discovery, many nations have rushed to place travel restrictions on South Africa and other countries in the region.<\/p>\n

He said Africa is not the source of the COVID-19 pandemic and should not be penalised for new variants, urging for global justice, equity, and fairness in access to vaccines.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica should not be labelled and penalized for COVID-19 variants and mutations that occur randomly elsewhere in the world. Africa is not the source of COVID-19,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

There must be global justice, equity & fairness in access to vaccines. Global vaccine supply system has underserved Africa. Protecting one\u2019s home alone in the midst of a forest fire does not work. Put out the forest fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica must accelerate the manufacturing of its own vaccines & set up its own \u201chealthcare security defence system\u201d. Africa must no longer outsource health security of its 1.8 billion people to the benevolence of others.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, South Africa also said it was being punished for its advanced ability to detect new COVID-19 variants. The African nation said the travel bans and restrictions imposed would affect its economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
