First, the Netherlands decided to stop air (and ground) traffic to the UK in order to limit the spread of the highly contagious new variant of the virus as much as possible. France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Ireland and Bulgaria followed on Sunday.

Not only are European countries reacting to the spread of the corona virus shapeshifting, several countries in Asia and the Americas have also imposed landing bans for Britain’s passenger jets.

Canada no longer allows planes from the United Kingdom to land. The step is “necessary for the safety of flights and the protection of the public,” wrote the responsible authorities in a message to the airlines. The restrictions do not apply to cargo aircraft.

Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru also stop all flights to and from the UK. Iran has also suspended flights to the UK for two weeks, the state news agency reported. Also, the state of the Gulf of Kuwait.

The United States is different: the new variant of the coronavirus that is spreading in Britain is being monitored very carefully, according to health authorities. But for the moment, the country lifted entry restrictions.
