Nonetheless, deaths in the fourth wave are lower than in the previous waves. Hospitalizations have remained low. In South Africa, for instance, around 9% of its over 5600 intensive care unit beds are currently occupied by COVID-19 patients,\u201d the statement reads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIn countries experiencing a surge in cases, the fast-spreading Omicron variant has become the dominant type. While it took around four weeks for the Delta variant to surpass the previously dominant Beta, Omicron outpaced Delta within two weeks in the worst-hit African countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIn West Africa, where COVID-19 cases are on the rise, the number of Omicron sequences undertaken by countries including Cabo Verde, Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal, is growing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAnd Omicron is currently the dominant variant in both Cabo Verde and Nigeria.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Speaking at a media briefing on Thursday, Matshidiso Moeti, WHO regional director for Africa, said early indications suggest that Africa\u2019s fourth wave has been steep and brief but no less destabilising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe crucial pandemic countermeasure badly needed in Africa still stands, and that is rapidly and significantly increasing COVID-19 vaccinations. The next wave might not be so forgiving,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThis year should mark a turning point in Africa\u2019s COVID-19 vaccination drive. With vast swaths of the population still unvaccinated, our chances of limiting the emergence and impact of deadly variants are frighteningly slim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe have the know-how and the tools and with a concerted push we can certainly tip the balance against the pandemic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Health Organisation (WHO) has disclosed that the Omicron is currently the dominant COVID variant in Nigeria.
