Ua fa'amaonia mai e le Matagaluega o le Soifua Maloloina a le Malo Kalefonia ma San Francisco o se mataupu lata mai o le COVID-19 i se tagata i Kalefonia na mafua mai i le Omicron variant (B.1.1.529). O lea tagata o se tagata malaga na toe foi mai Aferika i Saute i le aso 22 o Novema, 2021. O le tagata lea, na uma ona tui atoa ma sa i ai ni auga vaivai o loʻo faʻaleleia, o loʻo taofia e ia lava ma talu mai ona faʻamaonia lelei. O feso'ota'iga vavalalata uma ua fa'afeso'ota'i ma ua fa'amaonia le leaga.
Genomic sequencing na faia i le Iunivesite o Kalefonia, San Francisco ma o le faasologa na faʻamaonia i le CDC o loʻo ogatasi ma le Omicron variant. Ole a muamua fa'amaonia mataupu ole COVID-19 na mafua mai ile suiga ole Omicron na maua ile Iunaite Setete.
I le aso 26 o Novema, 2021, na faavasega ai e le Faalapotopotoga o le Soifua Maloloina a le Lalolagi (WHO) se suiga fou, B.1.1.529, o se Variant of Concern ma faaigoa ia Omicron ma ia Novema 30, 2021, na faavasega ai foi e le Iunaite Setete o se Variant of popolega. O lo'o mata'ituina ma sauniuni le CDC mo lenei suiga, ma o le a fa'aauau pea ona matou galulue ma le filiga ma isi US ma le lalolagi lautele o le soifua maloloina ma paaga fa'apisinisi e a'oa'o atili. E ui i le mauaina o le Omicron, ae o Delta o loʻo tumau pea le faʻalavelave sili i le Iunaite Setete.
O le tula'i mai talu ai nei o le Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) o lo'o fa'amamafa atili ai le taua o tui, fa'amalosi, ma ta'iala lautele e puipuia ai e mana'omia e puipuia mai le COVID-19. O tagata uma e ta'i 5 ma matutua atu e tatau ona fai tui puipui e fautuaina mo tagata uma e 18 tausaga ma matutua atu.
OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:
- Genomic sequencing was conducted at the University of California, San Francisco and the sequence was confirmed at CDC as being consistent with the Omicron variant.
- This will be the first confirmed case of COVID-19 caused by the Omicron variant detected in the United States.
- The California and San Francisco Departments of Public Health have confirmed that a recent case of COVID-19 among an individual in California was caused by the Omicron variant (B.
