European and Asian countries have tightened travel restrictions to their lands after the detection of a new mutated strain of the Corona virus in South Africa.

And Reuters quoted the British Health Security Agency as saying that “the mutated strain “B1.1,529” contains a coronary protein completely different from the protein found in the original Corona virus on the basis of which Corona vaccines were made, which raises concerns about the effectiveness of the current vaccines effective with the strain. Delta is highly contagious.

In addition, the British government imposed a ban on flights from South Africa and neighboring countries, and required its citizens returning from there to undergo a quarantine.

Italy also announced today the imposition of a ban on the entry of those who visited South Africa during the past 14 days, while a source in the German Ministry of Health said that the country will announce that South Africa is a region of a mutated strain.

France suspended all flights from South Africa for 48 hours, while Bahrain and Croatia will ban flights from some countries, while India issued an indicative note to all states to test and screen travelers from South Africa and other countries, while Japan tightened restrictions for those coming from South Africa and five other African countries. .

Yesterday, scientists announced the discovery of a new mutant of the Corona virus in South Africa, the country most affected in the continent by the epidemic, with more than 2.9 million infections and 89,600 deaths.
