The United Kingdom’s health secretary confirmed Wednesday that yet another “highly concerning” variant of the coronavirus has been identified in the U.K., likely originating from South Africa.
As a result, Secretary Matt Hancock said that the government will implement new travel restrictions on those attempting to enter the country from South Africa and urged those who had been to South Africa within the last two weeks to self-quarantine for two weeks, according to the Independent.
