Every country in the world started fighting back almost immediately after a mutation in the coronavirus was found to have appeared in Britain. Among other things, Hungary has banned machine landing in the UK, preventing the new strain of the virus from being introduced. A decision at EU level on how to regulate the movement of British citizens is expected soon.
Airliner landings from the UK were banned in Hungary from Monday, this also affects private commercial machines. Trade in goods continues uninterrupted. At the moment, it cannot be ruled out that the mutated strain of the virus discovered in Great Britain could enter Hungary, so air traffic with the United Kingdom was stopped. No variant was discovered at home that spreads much faster than the previous version
Cecília Müller, national medical director, said at Monday’s briefing by operations staff. A patient infected with a previously known variant can infect 2 or 3 other people, but this new one produces approximately twice as much. It mainly infects young people, but the disease is not more serious, but young people can transmit it to the vulnerable age group, which I want to prevent in Hungary for understandable reasons.
According to experts, the vaccine is also effective against the mutant virus species
Cecília Müller said.
Tighter closures
The new coronavirus mutation was discovered in September, and in November, a quarter of infections were caused by this variation in London. Currently, the new strain of the virus is responsible for more than half of the diseases.
Scientists also know so far that the mutation
IT IS EXTREMELY PROPAGATED, MORE INFECTIOUS THAN THE STRAIN KNOWN AS however, there is still no evidence that it is more deadly. It is suspected that coronavirus vaccines, which have already been approved and are in development, may also be effective against the mutated virus. In the southern part of the island nation they also decided on stricter closures than before.
The mutation is mainly prevalent in London and the south-east and east of England, respectively. This has been addressed in several countries around the world excluding UK passenger aircraft. The Czech Republic, Canada, Colombia, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Sweden, Turkey, the Netherlands, and Belgium, as well as Italy, Russia, Germany, France, Ireland, Canada, Romania, will no longer allow that British planes land at their airports. , Bulgaria, Kuwait, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Morocco and El Salvador.
Meanwhile, Poland and India have also indicated that they will not allow planes from British territory. In addition to the previous closure, France has committed to establishing a health protocol in the foreseeable future so that British citizens can move freely within the EU. No doubt a decision will be made on Monday.
They may run out of certain foods
Some supermarkets fear running out of certain foods due to continental shortages. Citrus fruits, salads, cauliflower and broccoli may also be missing from some shops in the UK’s second-largest supermarket, but they have tried to reassure shoppers that most of the Christmas produce is already in the country so that they don’t are affected by fewer arrivals. beyond the canal.
Neil Ferguson, a professor at Imperial College London, spoke of the fact that the emergence of a new version of the coronavirus was by no means an “accidental event”. The analysis we conducted last week showed that the appearance of a new strain is not a random event and there is a very strong correlation between the very rapid increase in the number of new cases and the new strain of coronavirus in some areas.
Ferguson confirmed that the new virus strain infects significantly faster than the old one.
A new type of coronavirus has also appeared in Wales
A new version of the coronavirus is likely to play a major role in the surge in cases in Wales in recent weeks. said Chris Jones, the country’s deputy chief physician. He told a Welsh government briefing: They were aware of 10 cases in Wales last Monday, and they increased to 20 on Friday. And a new analysis suggested that this new strain was much more common and present across Wales, he added.
Although Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon still spoke over the weekend that there could be relief during the Christmas season, the latest news said Monday that if the mutant strain of the coronavirus were released, the virus could spread completely out of control. That is why there will be no relief in the next few days in Scotland.
Stock markets are falling, the pound is weakening
London share prices have fallen dramatically and the pound has also weakened after several EU countries and practically half the world closed their borders to the UK due to a new version of the coronavirus. The London stock market fell more than 2.2 percent, while the main markets of Germany and France also fell more than two percent.
The pound fell 1.4 percent against the euro and 2 percent against the dollar. The travel restrictions hit airline stocks badly, and British Airways owner IAG and EasyJet fell nine percent.
