Matt Hancock.
Hancock says the development is “highly concerning” because the new variant is more transmissible and appears to have mutated further.
Hancock said the government is quarantining cases and close contacts of cases found in the UK, as well as placing “immediate restrictions” on travel from South Africa.
Anyone who has been to the country within the last two weeks should quarantine as well as those who have been close contacts of individuals who have been to the country. He said the measures are temporary while the new strain is investigated.We are incredibly grateful to the South African government for their science,” he added.
“This virus is yet more transmissible and appears to have mutated further than the new virus.”
