U.K. says six African countries to be added to COVID red-list

Six African countries will be added to England’s travel “red list” after the U.K. Health Security Agency flagged concern over a new coronavirus variant, Britain’s Secretary of State for Health Sajid Javid said on Thursday.

“UKHSA is investigating a new variant. More data is needed but we’re taking precautions now,” Mr. Javid said in a tweet.
