After detecting a new strain of the coronavirus in the United Kingdom, which indicates that the transmission of the virus can be accelerated up to 70% more, the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, modified the plans of movement of the population for this Christmas.
This worrying level of infections in London and the southeast of England forced the Executive to place these areas as of this Sunday at risk level 4 -severe-, with the closure of stores that sell non-essential items, gyms, cinemas, while people are being asked to work from home.
In addition, the autonomous authorities of Wales reported that all this territory will be in total confinement, while the flexible rules of movement in days before Christmas are canceled with the exception of the 25th.
After the British Government communicated a few days ago the appearance of the new strain, the authorities confirmed that they have already alerted the World Health Organization (WHO).
Although this variant spreads rapidly, there is no evidence that it is more lethal or that it may have an impact on the effectiveness of vaccines developed against Covid-19 and that are already being supplied in some countries. / SYGA
