As we mentioned in our previous post, some British nationals are still stuck in South Africa after it was placed on the red travel list.
But Conservative Party chairman Oliver Dowden has told Sky News that the government will"make sure we there are appropriate hotel provisions in place". He repeated the government line we've heard multiple times over now that a"balanced and proportionate" set of measures have been put in place to help stop the spread of COVID, but said"beyond that, people can carry on with their plans as before".
The new variant is able to evade immunity from a previous COVID infection, according to the first real-world study of its effect. The scientists looked at almost 2.8 million confirmed COVID cases in South Africa and found 35,670 were reinfections - 2.4 times higher than in the first wave. Professor Peter Openshaw, a member of the government's New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group , said the"chances of getting infected were too high" to have a party.
In other words 'we don't want you to stop spending money even it means numbers spiking and causing more problems for the NHS'.
