Britain will further tighten entry restrictions by closing all its “travel corridors” with other countries in order to stem the spread of new CCP virus variants, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday.

“We must take additional steps now” to reduce “the risk of new strains coming from overseas,” he said during a news conference held in Downing Street.
