UK: Indian Covid-19 variant could DELAY end of lockdown

 

BORIS Johnson on Thursday hinted he could delay lockdown lifting as he vowed to "rule nothing out" to combat the spread of the highly infectious Indian Covid variant.

 

The PM admitted ministers were "very anxious" about the strain - which could be up to 60 per cent more transmissible than the Kent strain.

 

Sounding a note of caution on a trip to Durham, he said: "There is a range of things we could do, we are ruling nothing out."

 

He said he was optimistic he could ease restrictions on Monday as planned, and hoped to be able to continue with the June 21 freedoms.

 

But he also refused to close down speculation that local lockdowns could return in virus hotbeds such as Bolton.

 

Surge testing and tracing in areas where the variant is rife will continue, he added.

 

emphasis mine, they just kinda stood out

Oops, sorry my other reply, was on a different wavelength, kek. Kent variant = B.1.1.7 variant

There must be something more to how these variants are spreading, some sort of tracing. Supply runs/areas/hubs. Multiple meanings and that…

US withdraws 120 military personnel from Israel as violence continues

 

The US has withdrawn approximately 120 military and civilian personnel from Israel, who were in the country to plan upcoming exercises, according to a report.

 

Citing a Department of Defence official, CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr says that the group left on a C-17 aircraft to return to a base in Germany.

 

The continuing violence and lack of commercial air travel options were given as reasons to leave early on military transport.

 

This morning, the C-17 was recorded landing in Tel Aviv from Ramstein US Air Force Base in southwestern Germany.

 

Due to the escalation of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, many flights have been redirected from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv to Ramon Airport, which is near the Red Sea resort Eilat.
