SOUNDBITE (English) Andre Koning, Dutch-South African IT engineer: "If that's the way it is, then that's the way it is, I see it that way. And then I look at Europe and I look at the rest of the world and think, OK, I can go to South Africa for Christmas. Sit next to the pool and have a braai ( barbecue) enjoy the boerewors or biltong or whatever. And then if I can't go, then I have to think of, OK, how can we do that (Christmas) differently?" Amsterdam - 1 December 2021 ++EVENING SHOTS++ 19. Various of deserted streets of Amsterdam due to lockdown, Christmas lights STORYLINE: The Netherlands has moved into a tougher lockdown that was announced amid spiking infections, even before the country recorded its first confirmed cases of the new, more highly transmissible omicron virus variant. Bars, restaurants, nonessential stores, cinemas and theaters were among the public places forced to shut from 5 p.m. until 5 a.m. under the new lockdown that began Sunday. The Dutch public health authority confirmed that 13 people who arrived in the Netherlands on flights from South African on November 26 have so far tested positive for the new omicron coronavirus variant. The 61 people who tested positive for the virus on November 26 after arriving on the last two flights to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport before a flight ban was put in place were immediately put into isolation while sequencing was carried out to establish if they had the new variant. The U.S. recorded its first confirmed case of the omicron variant Wednesday — in a vaccinated traveler who returned to California after a trip to South Africa — as scientists around the world race to establish whether the new, mutant version of the coronavirus is more dangerous than previous ones. At least 23 other countries have reported omicron infections since South African authorities first identified the variant a week ago — an announcement that led the U.S. and many other countries to almost immediately bar airline travelers arriving from southern Africa. The COVID travel restrictions have separated families and friends access the globe over the last two years. The flight ban due to the omicron variant may force Dutch South Africans to change their Christmas plans, says IT engineer Andre Koning who was born and bred in Pretoria, but moved to the Netherlands in 1988. The 53-year-old secured a special place in the Dutch- South African community with a hobby that he turned into a business. He makes the boerewors, traditional South African sausages. "Governments are saying, no, you cannot fly to South Africa or no, you cannot come to the Netherlands, for the people who have who live here, and want a family to come over, now it's a big question mark. Will they be allowed to come over? We don't know, " Koning said on Wednesday. Like many other South Africans, Koning is trying to stay in touch with his family and friends. "I still have contact with my brother with friends, but it's all via face time or we use WhatsApp video, call with my brother very often and I talk to him," he said. "I look at Europe and I look at the rest of the world and think, OK, I can go to South Africa for Christmas. Sit next to the pool and have a braai ( barbecue) enjoy the boerewors or biltong or whatever. And then if I can't go, then I have to think of, OK, how can we do that (Christmas) differently?" =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
