The United Kingdom is once again locked down tight.
Several countries have banned all trade and travel from Britain until more is known about a mutated coronavirus strain that’s sweeping through London.
Up to 40 countries Europe, Asia, South America, the Caribbean and the Middle East are now banning arrivals from the United Kingdom. The CEO of BioNTech, Uğur Şahin said it is unclear if the vaccine would be effective against the new strain, but the vaccine could be tweaked.
