British officials have detected another coronavirus variant in the United Kingdom, health secretary Matt Hancock announced Wednesday, with both cases confirmed in individuals who were in contact with recent arrivals from South Africa.
Britain is placing new restrictions on visitors from South Africa and calling on anyone who has recently been in the country or in contact with a recent arrival to self-isolate immediately, Hancock said at a news conference, describing the measures as temporary while officials seek to better understand the variant.
