A first case of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 has been reported in Senegal, in a visitor who was leaving the country after an international meeting in capital Dakar, a research institute said.
The IRESSEF health body, according to AFP, said that the 58-year-old patient arrived in Senegal by air from another West African country on November 22.
He had been vaccinated earlier this year with the AstraZeneca and Pfizer shots and had no symptoms by Saturday.
