Japan's health authorities registered the first case of the Omicron strain of COVID-19 in that country, Kyodo News reported on Tuesday, citing a source from the nation's government, APA reports citing Teletrader.

A Namibian diplomat in his 30s allegedly tested positive for the variant on Sunday upon his arrival at Narita International Airport in Greater Tokyo Area.

Following the discovery of the strain, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida confirmed the reports and banned foreigners' travels to the country amid fears Omicron would spread across the archipelago.
