An Omicron variant was discovered earlier in the life of a South African citizen and a local physician.
This was the first case of the Omicron variant in the country.
The South African national was found to have left the country before the results of genomic sequencing arrived and the government had ordered multi-pronged investigation into the case.
The government has released new guidelines for international arrivals and made two doses of vaccination compulsory for entry to malls, cinema theatres, and commercial establishments.
It has also made vaccination compulsory for parents of school children.
