BREAKING: President Tests Positive For COVID-19
Onyxnewsng gathered that President of Botswana, Mokgweetsi Masisi is isolating after testing positive for Covid, the government said on Monday.

On November 25, South African scientists said that cases of a new Covid-19 variant, later called Omicron, had been detected nationally and in neighbouring Botswana.
Omicron is highly contagious, although there are also signs that it is less likely to cause severe illness compared with previous variants, researchers have said.

Last week, South Africa lifted a nightly curfew that had been in place for 21 months, saying that its latest wave of infections had peaked without a surge in deaths or hospitalisations.
Botswana has recently launched booster jabs for people who have already been vaccinated and lowered the age of inoculation to 12.
A diamond-rich country the size of France, Botswana has a reputation for political stability and the richness of its wildlife.
Masisi, 60, first took office as president in 2018, taking over from Ian Khama, who stepped down after two terms in office. He was re-elected in 2019.
