India, other countries begin to seal off UK over mutated virus strain fears

Live Mint  

India became the latest country to shut all its borders with the United Kingdom after France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Bulgaria, the Irish Republic, Turkey, Canada and several other countries suspended flights as a full lockdown came into force in London and southeast England to contain a mutation to the coronavirus. With most of Britain now in the strictest Tier 4 lockdown, all non-essential travel remains banned for the majority amid growing concerns of an "out of control" new variant of coronavirus spreading at a much faster pace in parts of England. European Union member states are also due for a meeting in Brussels to discuss a more coordinated response as the number of coronavirus infections in the UK jumped to 35,928 on Sunday, down to the much faster spreading new mutation of the novel coronavirus, with the country’s death toll rising by 326 to hit 67,401. “Everybody, particularly people in Tier 4 areas, needs to behave as if they might well have the virus – that is the only way we are going to get it under control," UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock said, adding that the situation is “deadly serious” as the government tries to contain the rapid strain of an “out of control” virus. Opposition Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer accused Prime Minister Johnson of "gross negligence" and said he should apologise for his handling of the pandemic.
