the Netherlands made the decision late on Saturday.Flights with UK travellers will not be allowed into Netherlands until January 1 according to a government statement.“An infectious mutation of the COVID-19 virus is circulating in the United Kingdom.
It is said to spread more easily and faster and is more difficult to detect,” the country's health ministry said in a statement.The ban came after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and scientists announced on Saturday that the new strain of coronavirus identified in the country is up to 70% more infectious.And with that in mind, they plunged parts of London and southern England into a new Tier 4 lockdown, effectively cancelling Christmas.From Sunday, residents living in Tier 4 must not leave.
