The British government has said it has banned entry from South American countries due to concerns about the emergence of a new COVID-19 outbreak.
British Transport Minister Grant Shacks has announced that the entry ban will be imposed from 4 a.m. local time on the 15th as evidence of new mutations emerged in Brazil.
Countries banned from entry include Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador.
Portugal, a European country, has also been included in the ban because of close relations with Brazil.
Earlier, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan revealed that four men and women who entered Haneda Airport from Brazil on the 2nd were found to be infected with corona 19.
This mutation also has something in common with the mutations found in Britain and South Africa, but is considered a different kind.
France has stepped up its blockade.

This ban on traffic from 6 pm to 6 am the next day begins on the 16th of this month and will last for at least 15 days.
In recent years, an average of 16,000 new corona19 confirmed cases per day in France, and 200 to 300 of them have a mutant virus from the UK.
France has also made it mandatory for anyone entering France from a country other than the European Union to submit negative COVID-19 confirmations and quarantine them.
The results of the gene amplification test issued 72 hours ago must be submitted, self-quarantine for 7 days after entry, and the test must be performed again.
The number of cumulative corona 19 confirmed cases in France was 28,442,442 as of the 13th, the sixth largest in the world, and the cumulative death toll was 69,31, making it the 7th in the world.
