He ordered new restrictions for London and south-eastern England from Sunday, saying that "residents in those areas must stay at home" at least until December 30. The measures will mean around a third of England's population cannot travel or meet other households for Christmas. (Photo by Paul ELLIS / AFP)

Copenhague. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) pidió a sus miembros en Europa que “refuercen sus controles” a causa de la nueva variante del coronavirus detectada en el Reino Unido, indicó este domingo su filial europea a la AFP.

“Por toda Europa, allí donde la transmisión sea alta y esté extendida, los países deben reforzar sus procedimientos de control y de prevención”, indicó una vocera de la OMS Europa a la AFP.
