LONDON (Reuters) – Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday the government was looking at ways to stop a variant of the novel coronavirus found in Brazil from entering Britain.
“We are concerned about the new Brazilian variant … and we’re taking steps (to protect the country) … in respect of the Brazilian variant. I think it’s fair to say that there are lots of questions we still have about that variant,” he told a parliamentary committee.
