Global markets fall after Moderna Omicron warning – BBC News



European stock markets have fallen after the boss of Moderna cast doubts on the effectiveness of vaccines against the new Omicron Covid variant.

The Covid variant was first detected in South Africa, and the symptoms have been mild so far.

But travel restrictions have been imposed as a precaution by places including the UK, the EU and the US.

More than half of European destinations saw tourist arrivals decline. The European travel commission warned almost 9,000 travel industry jobs across the EU are at risk if restrictions return.

  1. Once again, like South Africa… the EU are only bothered about the financial impact of the lack of travel… they do not care about health and safety of people.

    Restrictions are the best tools we have… I’m sorry for the losses to airlines and other hospitality based companies but lives come first

  3. The discovery of the Omicron coronavirus variant caused the wealth of eight top Pfizer and Moderna shareholders to skyrocket by a combined €9 billion ($10.31 billion) in one week, according to campaigners.
