EU Countries Halt Flight From UK
Earlier, several EU countries have halted flights from the UK after the UK government issued a warning of a new type of ‘out of control’ virus. At the same time, Britain has also imposed strict lockdown since Sunday. Meanwhile, the European Union is also meeting on Monday.
The new strain is not more deadly than before
