Airports will halt the importation of new cases. we haven't really seen this to be very effective since the beginning when this virus came in from southern europe and all eyes were focused on china. we've seen that we really don't have a handle on the fact this virus when a new variant appears and it's been true just about every variant as the variant is identified, it's already spread globally. so i think the major component of the efforts has to be on continuing to do the genomic sequencing which we've only now getting up to speed. dr. walensky says 1 in 7. it should be higher than that. and...

Reaction to block travel is just going to slow the seeding slightly at best but have little, if any, impact. all right. let's bring in cnn's eleni. south africa sounded the alarm and is paying dearly for doing that. talk to us about reaction there and, of course, the low vaccination rate and the spread of this new variant. >> reporter: rosemary, i have to say that the mood in south africa is one of anger and that the country is being targeted. and from the scientific community we've been hearing one thing. that south africa has advanced genomic sequencing because of skills that it acquired b...

Community is prepared. over the next week or two we'll have answers to these questions. >> do you think we're doing enough testing in the united states to find out if this variant is here, and if so, how widespread it is? >> unfortunately, caitlyn, we've under performed in terms of genomic testing so far. we're doing better than before but we're not quite at that level. no, i think it's quite possible that the omicron variant is here, we haven't picked it up yet. i think if we can pick up the pace of genomic sequencing, hopefully we'll identify it soon. >> the cdc says no confirmed cases but t...
