Barbados becomes the world’s newest republic & Dozens test positive on South Africa-Netherlands flights

1st news:

Barbados has officially removed Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and become the world's newest republic. In an overnight ceremony in the capital, Bridgetown, Dame Sandra Mason was sworn in as president. The Prince of Wales and Barbadian singer, Rihanna, attended the event, which coincided with the country's 55th anniversary of independence. In a speech, Prince Charles acknowledged the "appalling atrocity of slavery" the Caribbean island suffered. The new era for Barbados ends Britain's centuries of influence. To signify the official change of power, a final salute was made to the British monarchy and the Royal Standard flag was lowered and replaced. Speaking as the guest of honour at the event, Prince Charles reiterated the continuing ties between the two nations despite the constitutional status change.

2nd news:

Health officials in several European countries are checking to see if the newly identified variant of coronavirus has already arrived within their borders. The WHO says early evidence suggests the variant named Omicron poses an increased reinfection risk. Sample from 61 people who arrived in Netherlands on flights from South Africa have tested positive for Covid-19 and are being examined to see if they contain the new strain. They have been placed in isolation at a hotel near Schiphol Airport. Many countries around the world, including the US and Australia, have restricted travel to and from the Southern African region.
