Graph shows terrifying rise of new strain – Queensland Times
The discovery of a new COVID strain in the United Kingdom that’s much more infectious is causing panic but how worried should we be?
A mutant strain of the coronavirus has caused panic in Europe where more than two dozen countries have suspended United Kingdom flights in fear of the new variant.

Dozens of countries from India to Argentina have banned flights from Britain over concerns about the new virus strain, which is reportedly 70 per cent more contagious.
