The new coronavirus, which has become more contagious through genetic modification, is spreading around the world. After the US, corona19 vaccination has begun in Europe, and new fears are slowly permeating a situation in which hopes are growing that the pandemic (a global pandemic) will end.
According to foreign media on the 27th, the virus, which was first discovered in the UK, is currently spreading across Europe and is rapidly spreading to the Middle East, Asia, Australia and North America.
Virus variants have already been confirmed in Europe and Ontario, Canada, including France, Denmark, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Ireland, and Switzerland, and the virus has been found in Lebanon, a Middle Eastern country, and the health authorities are making an effort.
In the United States there was no announcement by the authorities, but it is already suspected that the strain is spreading.
In Asia, a variant of the virus infection emerged from Singapore, which was assessed as having contracted the spread of confirmed cases, and from neighboring Japan.
In almost all cases, the virus variant was tracked as a starting point for UK participants.
There is already a situation of concern about internal spread. In Japan, the family of captains in their 30s who had been infected with a variant virus after visiting the UK was also confirmed as a variant virus.
The virus variant was first discovered in September in southern England, England.
The British government analyzes that the infectious power of the variant is up to 70% stronger than the existing Corona 19, and it was found that two thirds of the confirmed cases in London, the east of England and the south-eastern regions, which are the epicenters of the spread of the variant, were infected with the variant.
Experts believe the strain has become more contagious, but it hasn’t changed enough to neutralize the vaccine’s effectiveness. However, it is said that the vaccine is now starting to be vaccinated and it is still too early to expect a spread effect.
Each country’s fear of the variant has led to drastic border control.
According to BBC Broadcasting, 40 countries have restricted entry from the UK this month.
Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait went one step further and closed their borders for a week.
Japan also decided to temporarily suspend the new entry of foreigners from 28 to the end of January next year with only a few exceptions.
Since 28, the US has requested that all aircraft passengers arriving from the UK submit a negative Corona 19 test received within 72 hours of departure.
Furthermore, South Africa, along with the United Kingdom, is on the list of countries on alert because a new highly contagious variant has been discovered in South Africa.
In Britain, even the South African version of the virus has already been discovered.
