Now a new epidemic has broken out in Britain. COVID-19 has mutated, and its infectivity has increased by 70%. Although there is no evidence that the mutated COVID-19 will be more deadly, it is estimated that the newly developed vaccine will be affected. As Christmas approaches, western countries will extend their holidays. Although Britain has become an "island" at present, parents of small international students will try their best to get their children back.
65438+February 20th, 35928 new confirmed cases were reported in Britain, the highest increase in a single day since the outbreak of the epidemic. By 22nd, the cumulative number of people infected with COVID-19 in Britain had reached 20735 1 1, and 676 16 people died. It is expected that there will be a larger outbreak after Christmas. After all, foreigners think differently.
In fact, the virus mutation in Britain began in September, the day when many young students returned to Britain. At present, at least 10 countries such as Germany, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Iran have taken actions, announcing the closure of the border with Britain, raising the risk of traveling to Britain and grounding flights to and from Britain. I hope to curb the spread of the virus by "keeping a distance" from Britain.
It is worth mentioning that before the discovery of the mutated virus in Britain, China had taken measures to "keep a distance" from Britain because of the unstable domestic epidemic. 165438+1At the beginning of October, the Chinese Embassy in the UK issued an announcement to suspend the entry of British certified personnel. The latest response from relevant departments indicates that China will seriously study and properly handle it scientifically to ensure the healthy and orderly exchanges between Chinese and foreign personnel.
Not only in Britain, but also in Europe, small international students studying in the United States will also face this problem. Whether they will return to China at Christmas, how we need to prevent imported cases is a big problem.
