India TV News  

There was growing alarm among nations across the globe after scientists in the United Kingdom identified a new mutant version of the deadly Coronavirus spreading among people in southern England. The emergence of this new variant has led to a surge in Covid cases in the UK, and on Saturday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government clamped stringent Level 4 restrictions in large parts of London and the nearby boroughs. These markets were brimming with shoppers till Saturday when the UK government announced clamping of stringent Level 4 lockdown rules due to the spread of the new variant. It is really tragic that even before the Covid vaccine has been introduced on a massive scale, fresh trouble has erupted with the emergence of the new variant of Coronavirus, throwing all schedules in disarray.
