The visit comes at a time when many countries are shutting their doors to South Africa over the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

South Africa was the first country that reported the news strain of the virus.

On Tuesday, Dutch health authorities said Omicron variant was present in the Netherlands earlier than previously thought, and before South Africa had first reported the new strain of COVID.

The variant was found in two test samples from November 19 and 23, with one having no travel history, suggesting that the variant was already circulating in the Netherlands, the RIVM public health institute said.

The first Omicron cases in the Netherlands were previously believed to have been the cluster of 14 among passengers on two flights from South Africa that arrived in Amsterdam on Friday.
