The prime minister has recommended there could possibly be restrictions on journey from Brazil to the UK – however a last choice has not been taken.

Boris Johnson was requested by Labour MP Yvette Cooper why checks on folks arriving from Brazil haven’t been strengthened, given {that a} new variant of coronavirus has been recognized there.

Mr Johnson mentioned: “We’re taking steps to make sure that we don’t see the import of this new variant from Brazil.”
