Surrey's Local Resilience Forum said there is 'no evidence' a vaccine is less effective against the variant

"The most important thing is that people continue to follow the guidance that is in place - limit your number of contacts, wash your hands regularly and thoroughly, keep your distance and cover your face. If you test positive by any method, you must isolate to stop the spread of the virus."Just over a week ago, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said all cases identified so far were connected to travel from South Africa.

"The interesting and exiting thing about... the vaccines we're developing is increasingly, they're capable of being adapted to deal with new variants as they arise.Professor Anthony Harnden, chair of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, told Sky News at the end of January:"The new variants abroad are a real worry - the South African and the Brazilian ones.

African variant of the China Virus. Be a proper racist.

More lies from Any chance of some investigative journalism for a change? Holding the government to account, perhaps ? Oh no. That’s right. You’re owned by a globalist.

What a load of Shit. !!!

Ahhhhh. A huge sigh of relief. Reading through this thread it would seem the penny has finally dropped with people. Fingers crossed we are now at the tipping point

Rubbish. The virus cannot be isolated and PCR test results are false . This is pure propaganda

tolliday_ why is the whole world acting as if this is the first virus to ever mutate as if it doesn’t happen every winter

This language is dangerous and misleading. It is a variant originating in South Africa, not a South African variant. Very different.

Flights keep landing at Heathrow like nothing is happening here 🤡🤡🤡

Insert 'its like this dystopian movie/book i saw

We can call it the South African variant but it’s racist to call it the China virus ?

Frauds will be out as well! 🤡
