CAMBRIDGE : From January 5, it will be mandatory for passengers coming from China to England to show negative reports two days old. The UK government has called it a precautionary and temporary measure. He has said that this step has been taken in the direction of finding out the new variant which is wreaking havoc in China.
Here, the World Health Organization (WHO) has swung into action after making corona testing mandatory for passengers coming from 10 countries including China, Britain, France, India and America, Japan, Italy, Taiwan, France, Spain, South Korea and Israel. .She has asked China to provide more data on the alarmingly rising number of coronavirus cases after ending the zero-covid policy. In a virtual meeting, the World Health Organization has asked China to provide more data on genome sequencing, number of hospitalized patients, deaths and vaccinations.
In fact, China’s official figures have become unreliable due to low testing. There is criticism regarding the count of daily cases of Corona. There has been a serious discussion on this topic between Chinese officials and experts of the World Health Organization on Friday. But China claims that its corona data is transparent. However, the WHO swung into action after several countries, including India and the US, made corona testing mandatory for passengers coming from China.
In Italy, more than half of the recent travelers from China were found to be corona positive in tests. This number indicates the spread of infection in China. However, the situation regarding the type of virus is not yet clear. If a new strain is found, the local government may impose strict restrictions on travel from China.
