Meanwhile, early evidence suggests that the UK strain of the coronavirus may be more deadly than others.
"In addition to its rapid spread, there is now also some evidence that the new strain may be associated with high mortality," Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.
The British Prime Minister clarified that the death rate from the new strain of coronavirus, compared to the "old" strain of Covid-19, is 30% higher. It notes that the evidence comes from mathematicians who analyze trends in the number of people dying from "new" and "old" strains.
