The coronavirus outbreak in the UK. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the confirmed coronavirus virus is spreading rapidly in the southeastern region of the UK and explained that “the contagion is up to 70% higher than the existing coronavirus.” Objective analysis has not yet been carried out on the infectious power and impact of mutant corona, but uncertainty is already affecting the real world. Over 40 countries around the world are implementing measures to ban or restrict entry from the UK. As the number of immigration bans increased, train stations and airports have been crowded in the UK over the past few days with people trying to leave the UK before restrictions on entry. As cargo transportation from the UK was also restricted, trucks that did not load cargo on the ship were also spotted lined up in ports or roads. Similar situations to Wuhan, China, where the coronavirus outbreak was initially blocked a year ago are being confirmed.
So far, Korea has not taken measures to ban or restrict entry to the UK, and there have been no confirmed cases of mutant viruses. However, anxiety about the mutant virus is spreading around the world. Video Mug summarizes the recent situation in the UK and its impact on Korea.
