EU Commission Urges Travel Ban From Southern Africa Due to New COVID Variant

The European Commission (EC) on November 26 proposed that member states suspend travel from southern Africa due to concerns over a new Covid-19 variant. In a press statement, EC President Ursula von der Leyen said, “The European Commission has today proposed to Member States to activate the ‘emergency brake’ on travel from countries in southern Africa and other countries affected to limit the spread of the new variant. All air travel to these countries should be suspended. They should be suspended until we have a clear understanding about the danger posed by this new variant.” Von der Leyen said the EC’s stance was supported by scientists and vaccine manufacturers she had spoken to that day.

Scottish Police Urge Residents in Storm-Warned Areas to Avoid Travel

Police in Scotland warned residents not to travel through areas under threat from Storm Arwen, as severe weather battered parts of the north and east coast on November 26. “The high-winds being experienced along the coastal areas of the north, east and southern parts of Scotland have led to red weather warnings coming into effect and as such, any motorist within these affected regions should not travel under any circumstances,” said Superintendent Simon Bradshaw. The warning extended not just to drivers but other members of the public, according to a police statement. The Met Office issued a “rare red weather warning” which would remain in effect until November 27. Footage by Aberdeenshire resident Caroline McFarlane shows strong winds pummelling a fence. The video was filmed in the town of Portsoy, she said. Credit: Caroline McFarlane via Storyful from Breaking National News and Australian News | Daily Telegraph https://ift.tt/2ZpY5xq
