Uk Coronavirus

The UK has joined a growing list of countries, including India, to introduce curbs on travellers from China amid a surge in coronavirus cases in the country after Chinese authorities relaxed the strict "zero-COVID" rules.

The UK will consider on Thursday imposing COVID-19 restrictions for arrivals from China, including requiring tests for the coronavirus, the Telegraph reported.

"Now that vaccines and therapeutics have allowed us to move to a phase where we are living with COVID-19, the publication of this specific data is no longer necessary," The UK Health Security Agency said.

Britain's ruling Conservative party on Tuesday suspended Matt Hancock, the former health minister during the coronavirus pandemic, for appearing on a reality TV show.

The UK health authorities on Saturday approved a second "bivalent" vaccine to be used as a booster vaccine to target both the Omicron and original strain of COVID-19.

The UK's drug regulator said Monday it has approved an updated Moderna vaccine against the coronavirus that targets the Omicron variant as well as the original form.

The number of pubs in England and Wales has plunged to its lowest ever level, according to an analysis published on Monday which blames the coronavirus pandemic and soaring costs.

The Omicron variant of coronavirus is less likely to cause long COVID than previous variants, according to the first peer-reviewed study of its kind from the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom's coronavirus alert level has been reduced from four to three as COVID-19 cases continue to fall, even as two rare types of the Omicron variant sub-types have been reclassified as variants of concern.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused working habits to change drastically with many jobs becoming "work from home".

A year after having COVID-19, only around one in four hospitalised patients feel fully recovered, according to a UK study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal which found that the disease affects women worse than men.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing new allegations on Monday around "partygate", the scandal surrounding government officials breaching coronavirus rules with illegal lockdown gatherings.

However, the rule was changed during Coronavirus pandemic, when most flights around the world were suspended and people preferred to remain indoors

India's first case of the coronavirus variant XE has been reported in Mumbai. The XE variant was first found in the UK and is a mutation of two Omicron strains BA.1 and BA.2.

The XE variant of COVID-19 is a recombinant of two sublineages of Omicron - BA.1 and BA.2. So far, the cases have been found only in Britain.
