- Countries ban UK travellers as Covid cases rise by 50% in a week - Health secretary admits new strain is ‘out of control’ Britain’s border with France was closed last night with all travellers and lorry drivers blocked from leaving and the EU ready to ban all arrivals to the bloc. Fears were mounting of gridlock on roads in Kent as the Channel Tunnel said that its services would be suspended at 11pm yesterday amid an international scramble to quarantine Britain over a faster-spreading variant of coronavirus. Flights, ferries and trains from Britain are expected to be banned by Brussels after a wave of European countries including Italy, the Netherlands and Ireland implemented bans on arrivals. Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Poland, Germany and Sweden also announced travel bans. Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, said no flights from the UK would be allowed to land for 72 hours.

WHAT IS THE NEW COVID STRAIN? Millions of Brits have been plunged back into lockdown amid fears of a new high velocity strain of coronavirus. The new strain of coronavirus is feared to be 70 per cent more contagious than the original Covid bug. While there is no evidence currently to suggest that the new strain is more deadly, the "frighteningly transmissable" variation has meant the Christmas bubble has been burst. It's thought the new strain - called VUI202012/01 - emerged in London and the South East as early as September, Sir Patrick Vallance said at a Downing Street briefing. The high velocity mutant strain has seen Covid more than double in the last week, as data shows a sharp increase in hospital admissions across London and the South. Boris Johnson said that it was thought the new strain could also see the R rate increase by 0.4 UK authorities have since alerted the World Health Organisation. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13470016/covid-uk-news-mutant-strain-christmas-tier-4-borders-live/ lalasticlala, mynd44 |
