The new coronavirus mutant strain has been detected in one part of Cheshire according to the latest data.
The UK Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) National Chairman
Mike Cherry issued a comment on the news of a deal:
“After such a torrid year, and during such a disrupted festive trading season, it’s a huge relief to see negotiators finally strike a deal. The work of looking through the detail of the agreement to map out exactly what it means for the small firms that make-up 99% of our business community now begins. As well as going through the terms of access to each other’s markets, we are keen to see the Small Business Chapter that we have championed and encouraged both sides to include. What we need from here is tangible, targeted support, including £3,000 transition vouchers that small firms can spend on the training and advice required to navigate a new trading relationship with our biggest export market.”

It could be the invisible enemy in our midst that is playing some part in fuelling the rocketing spread of Covid-19. It has been captured at last and preliminary data has found it in the east of the country.
The new strain, which is believed to be much more infectious, may not only be driving the virus among some adults but it has been suggested it could also be easier for children to catch.
The possibility was raised by WHO envoy David Nabarro and some UK scientists yesterday that it can spread more readily among children. But like much about this strain, so full of unknowns, more scientific investigation is needed.
