More than forty countries have banned plans from Britain after the new Variant of Coronavirus was detected in the UK. The government is warned to take immediate actions to save jobs as the Coronavirus crisis worsens.
- Just when one thought that things were turning around for the UK, with the vaccines being available to the public, the nation faces another crisis. A new strain of Covid-19 virus has been detected in parts of the UK which seems to have a 70% stronger transmission rate.
- More than forty countries have closed their borders to the UK. PM Boris attended the Cobra Crisis talk to discuss the new crisis that the nation is facing.
- On Sunday, France too closed their borders to the UK which means that no lorries or ferries could leave Dover Port. This dispute in transportation will lead to a shortage of food supplies amongst other problems.
- Moreover, thousands of lorries and aircraft that were scheduled to fly to European countries have been halted. Rail service to France, Belgium, and Holland from the UK have also been paralyzed.
- The identification of new strain across Britain has put the nation into a draconian Tier-4 restriction, affecting the life of 17.7 million people in London and Southeast.
- Thousands of workers working in the Transportation sector has been caught in the crossfire of the border crisis that developed overnight. Transport Unions are urgently demanding financial protection of jobs from the government.
- Teacher Unions have also warned to take the newly mutated virus as a real threat and demanded online learning for the first half of January. They have also urged the government to star vaccination education staff to reduce the widespread of the disease.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said, that the European ban is “slightly surprising” after the world witnessed how Britain handled the Pandemic under the Tory Government.
