Britain has added Denmark to its travel quarantine list after 12 people in the Nordic country were infected with a mink-related variant strain of the CCP virus.

People arriving in the UK from Denmark after 4 a.m. on Friday will need to self-isolate for 14 days, UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said in a statement.
