Travel ban imposed on Britain
More than 50 countries imposed travel restrictions for people coming from Britain over fear of the spread of a new mutation of the coronavirus, which is supposed to be more contagious.

The European Commission also urged member countries to lift the restrictions and allow essential travel with Britain.
