A sixth person in the UK who tested positive for a Brazilian coronavirus "variant of concern" has been found.

The COVID-19 variant, first seen in the city of Manaus, is thought to spread more rapidly than the original virus and to be more capable of evading existing vaccines.

In total, six cases of the P1 coronavirus variant have been confirmed - three in England and three in Scotland.

We need to stop people coming in to our country.

Why are people travelling from Brazil to this country?? We should be refusing to accept any flights from the countries that have this problem. I fail to understand x

Taiwan, New Zealand and Iceland have closed their borders to travel for a long time now, just look at how they are doing. A year later this Gov have only just started to use a very leaky, ineffective, sieve. I may add, other countries are just as bad as well.

I wonder how many people he’s infected in between finding him?
