Currently, the corona 19 mutant virus from the UK, which is being discovered one after another in various countries, is mostly confirmed by the entry quarantine.
However, in some countries, there is a growing concern as secondary transmission and community infection have occurred through such quarantine networks.

Another person infected with the corona 19 mutant virus from the UK came from Japan.
The first cases have been confirmed in Norway, Portugal and Jordan.
More than 20 countries have been found to have mutated viruses from the UK so far.
Most of the infected were screened during the airport entry quarantine or self-isolation phase.
However, in some countries, it has been confirmed that it has passed through this quarantine network to the local community.
In Denmark, 33 mutant virus infections have been reported.
The Danish National Serum Research Institute found that there is a social infection in Denmark caused by a mutant virus originating in the UK, according to a recent viral gene analysis.
In simple terms, social infection is an infection during daily life, which means that it goes beyond the 2nd and 3rd spread through one person, and another infection is occurring through hidden infected people accumulated in the community.

In the midst of this, a second case of infection between families occurred in Japan by the captain of an airline who traveled to the UK.
The quarantine authorities are tense that there was a blind spot that the government was exempt from quarantine, and this broke the government’s quarantine network.
The corona 19 mutant virus from the UK is a variant of the GR type that is prevalent in each country along with the GH type, but due to the change in shape of the dendritic proteins such as N501Y, it adheres to human cells more easily and the virus is more easily penetrated.
As it is characterized by its rapid spread, it is estimated that the virus has already spread and is spreading in other countries where infection has not been confirmed.

Therefore, each country has an emergency in blocking mutant Corona 19.
The goal is to stop the inflow stage in order to prevent secondary propagation.
More than 50 countries have stopped entering flights from the UK.
The U.S. mandated corona19 testing for those entering the UK, and Japan virtually banned non-resident foreigners from entering the country until the end of January next year.
