Flights from six countries will be banned as officials review travel measures after scientists voice concern over variant
Flights from southern Africa will be banned, with six countries placed under Englands red list travel restrictions, after scientists raised the alarm over what is feared to be the worst Covid-19 variant yet identified.

It's way too early to know mortality. At least one vaccinated person in Hong Kong is asymptomatic .
