It is reported by the BBC.

The WHO claims that the new strain of coronavirus is spreading faster than the initial one, but is no more deadly.

According to the BBC, the decision to ban the Netherlands from entering the United Kingdom was made after COVID-19 tests, carried out in the country at the beginning of the month, showed a new mutation of the coronavirus.

The Dutch government has announced that it will work with other European Union countries in the coming days to «explore ways to further limit the risk of transmission of the new coronavirus from the UK. “

Furthermore, the WHO ensures that they are now in close contact with UK officials due to a new mutation of the virus.

In the context of the spread of a new strain of coronavirus, which was discovered in the UK on December 14, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that a lockdown will be introduced in London and south-east England from December 20. He argued that a new mutation in the virus could be 70% more infectious.

After Holland, Belgium also stops air traffic with Great Britain.
