WHO instructs non-vaccinated senior citizens to postpone travel

WHO instructs non-vaccinated senior citizens to postpone travel

The World Health Organization said Tuesday that people 60 and older who are not vaccinated or have not previously had COVID-19 should postpone traveling “to areas with community transmission,” citing the spread of the Omicron variant.


The organization, which named Omicron as a variant of concern days earlier, issued a press release criticizing widespread travel bans and arguing that essential travel should continue so long as travelers remain vigilant.


WHO named Omicron a variant of concern on Friday, and 56 countries issued travel restrictions in the following days, according to the organization.
