England has decided to make the wearing of masks mandatory from next Tuesday, taking into account the risk of the new covid variant Omicron.

 Accordingly, it is mandatory to wear face masks when using public transport and when entering public places, including shops, the country’s health secretary has said.

Britain has blacklisted 10 countries in the South African region, making PCR testing mandatory for all foreign immigrants.

Last day, however, foreign media reported that nearly 40,000 new cases of covid had been identified in Britain.
