[앵커]
The world is in an emergency situation as a mutant coronavirus, which is 70% more infectious than before, was discovered in the UK.
Countries around the world, which had been sighing with the distribution of vaccines, are again on alert for the emergence of the mutant virus.
What is the current situation in the UK?
[사무관]
The UK has created an emergency blockade in London and surrounding areas by creating the top four new levels of corona response.
Due to this measure, operations such as non-essential stores were suspended, and the number of people who can meet outdoors was limited to one.
Due to concerns about the influx of mutant viruses, countries around the world have entered restrictions such as banning entry from the UK and strengthening quarantine.
Our government has also decided to temporarily suspend flights to the UK by the end of the year.
In addition, visitors from the UK must undergo PCR testing when quarantined on the 14th and then release them. Immigration screening has also been strengthened to adjust the fever standard from 37.5 degrees to 37.3 degrees, and airline crew members are also subjected to full inspection.

It is highly contagious, and there is concern about the possibility of spreading to other regions through the holiday season.
The COVID-19 mutant virus wasn’t only found in the UK, right?
[사무관]
Of the new cases currently occurring in London and southeast England, 60% of the virus has been found to be infected.
There are reports of mutant viruses also found in Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Australia.
Particularly in South Africa, as a variant of the coronavirus different from the UK has been discovered, entry measures from South Africa are also spreading.
The risk factor is that mutant viruses spread quickly.
During the year-end and New Year holidays, we recommend that you minimize contact and movement with other people and stay at home whenever possible.
