Germany largely stops flights from the UK.

According to virologist Christian Drosten from the Berlin Charité, the new variant has not yet appeared in Germany. The spread could be a coincidence, the Corona expert wrote on Twitter. The mutations did not necessarily give the virus a selection advantage, even if that was possible. A selection advantage can facilitate the spread of a virus.
