A variant of the corona 19 virus found in the UK has also been confirmed in Denmark, the Netherlands and Australia. The British government says the virus is more contagious than the existing virus, and Europe, as well as the Middle East and Latin American countries, are locking up the UK.
First, reporter Kim Young-ah.
On Sunday, yesterday (20th), major stations in London, England were crowded throughout the day.
It’s because of passengers from all over Europe who are in a hurry to get tickets before the road back home is cut off.

From today, France has completely banned entry from the UK.
Most European countries, including Germany and Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland, have already restricted or plan to restrict entry from the UK.
The UK blockade, which started in Europe, is spreading all over the world, including the Middle East, Latin America, North America and Canada.

The reason the world is so sensitive is the contagious power of the virus strain.
The UK government says the virus’s contagion is up to 70% higher than that of conventional viruses.
Despite the blockade, strains have already been identified in Denmark, the Netherlands and Australia.
Because of this, movements by countries to block the influx of strains are likely to accelerate.
The Korean government has stated that there are no restrictions on entry for aircraft from the UK.
