What is known about the new strain of coronavirus in the UK?
On December 14, the British Health Ministry announced that they had discovered a new strain of coronavirus in 60 regions of the country.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the infectivity of the new coronavirus strain could be 70% higher than that of the old one.
The British government believes that there is so far no reason to believe that such a virus causes a more serious form of COVID-19. The European Medicines Agency said that Pfizer and BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine will protect against the new strain of coronavirus.
In London and the south-east of England, where the majority of coronavirus mutation cases were recorded, a total lockdown was introduced on December 20, residents were prohibited from leaving their homes unnecessarily.
Amid the spread of a new strain of coronavirus, dozens of countries have suspended flights with the UK.
The new strain has also been found in the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, and Italy.
