B.1.1.7

2020-12-24 17:17:58.877042+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

We were reading up on entrance requirements to Honduras last night, for reasons not related to our own possible travel, and I was kinda surprised to see that although USAnians might be asked to quarantine for two weeks, those from the UK or South Africa definitely would be quarantined, and for 3 weeks. Looks like the reason for the difference is a much more contagious version of the virus behind COVID-19: The Economist: Tracking B.1.1.7 — Evidence mounts: a new coronavirus variant is more transmissible
