The discovery of a new Covid-19 variant first detected in South Africa prompted multiple countries to impose travel restrictions on at least six African nations.
Currently known as B.1.1.529, the newly identified variant appears to be spreading rapidly in parts of South Africa, and scientists are concerned that its unusually high number of mutations could make it more transmissible and result in immune evasion. The World Health Organization classified it as a “variant of concern” on Friday.
These are the countries that have announced restrictions so far:
United States
Italy
Austria
France
Japan
The United Kingdom
Singapore
The Netherlands
Malta
Malaysia
Morocco
Philippines
Dubai
Jordan
Guatemala
Switzerland
