Tomorrow millions of citizens in England are isolated: “The new virus variable is disturbing”

The order to stay at home will also be accompanied by the closure of shops and restaurants, while no more than four persons will be allowed to assemble at the weekend holidays.

Britain's health minister, Matt Hancock, confirmed that two cases diagnosed with the new version of COVIDD-19 had traveled to Britain from South Africa.

“The new version of the virus is disturbing because it is even more transmitted and apparently mutated further from the version previously discovered in the United Kingdom. We have decided to make these decisions to limit the spread of the new coronary version. First, we're putting cases and people in quarantine in contact with infected people here in the United Kingdom. Second, we are setting limits on trips from South Africa”, said Matt Hancock, Minister of Health in Great Britain.

Meanwhile, the version discovered in Britain has also been confirmed in Denmark, Italy, Gibraltar, Holland, and Australia.

French Health Minister said it is very possible that the new version of the virus is being circulated in France, however, no official case has been confirmed.

Italy is closing the year with frightening casualties from COVID-19. With 70 thousand confirmed victims, the neighbouring state is the fifth country in the world to exceed the figure of 70 thousand fatalities and the most tragic balance of European Union states.

Prime Minister Giusppe Konte announced that the country would be closed again to avoid rising cases during the festive period.

In Greece, authorities are prepared to begin mass population inoculation. The BioNtech company has done nearly 12.5 million doses of vaccine as Europe has begun vaccinating the most vulnerable categories of the population. In some EU states, the vaccine will begin within a few days, while others early next year.
