Boris Johnson CANCELS trip to India amid surging coronavirus cases and alarm about new variant  – TodayHeadline


India is being added to the UK’s travel ‘red list’ after Boris Johnson cancelled his visit amid surging coronavirus cases and alarm about a new variant.
Matt Hancock told MPs today that the government had made the ‘difficult’ decision to place the country in the highest level of restrictions from 4am on Friday. 
Some 103 cases of the variant first identified in India have now been identified in the UK, with the ‘vast majority’ linked to international travel, he said. 
‘After studying the data and on a precautionary basis we have made the difficult but vital decision to add India to the red list,’ the Health Secretary said.

Ministers are 'weeks too late' putting India on travel 'red list'


The Government has come under fire for 'adding countries onto a red list when it is too late' after India became the latest nation to face a UK travel ban amid a surge in cases of a variant that first emerged there. 
Ministers are facing questions over why arrivals were not banned immediately from India, which is now dealing with a second wave of the virus, despite the Covid variant being under investigation for almost three weeks. 
Shadow home secretary Nick Thomas-Symonds said the Government's failure to introduce stronger restrictions at the border had left the country 'exposed to mutations of the virus'.

Boris Johnson CANCELS trip to India amid surging coronavirus cases


India could be added to the UK's travel 'red list' as early as today after Boris Johnson cancelled his visit amid surging coronavirus cases and alarm about a new variant.
A joint statement from the British and Indian government said the trip - already scaled back - will not go ahead 'in light of the current situation'.
The news came amid rising expectation that the UK's restrictions on journeys to the country will be ramped up, with experts warning about the potential threat posed by a mutant strain.
During a visit to Gloucestershire, Mr Johnson told reporters: 'The red list is very much a matter for the independent UK Health Security Agency – they will have to take that decision.

Indian Covid variant 'poses a threat' to UK's lockdown-easing plans


The Indian coronavirus variant could 'pose a threat' to Boris Johnson's roadmap out of lockdown, an expert warned today. 
It is feared the B.1.617 strain spreads more easily than older versions of the virus and scientists say it has mutations which may help it evade vaccines.
Professor Danny Altmann, an Imperial College London immunologist, said there were vaccinated vulnerable Britons who could 'still be caught out by variants like this'. 
Health officials warned yesterday that cases of people in the UK contracting the South African and Kent strains after being vaccinated have already been recorded. 
Public Health England says officially the Indian variant has been spotted 77 times in Scotland and England since March. But analysis of publicly available information on new variant numbers say cases have risen to 160, suggesting it's spreading rapidly in the community.
