Trucks waiting to get out of Britain backed up for miles and people were left stranded at airports Monday as dozens of countries around the world slapped tough travel restrictions on the U.K. because of a new and seemingly more contagious strain of the coronavirus in England.
From Canada to India, one nation after another banned flights from Britain, while France barred the entry of trucks from Britain for 48 hours while the strain is assessed. The precautions raised fears of food shortages in Britain if the restrictions drag on.
On India Today's show, News Today, Brown University's Dean Dr Ashish Jha spoke about mutant strain that has triggered fear. He said, "All of the data suggest that the Moderna Pfizer vaccines should be very effective to this new variant."
