Australia Fights to Keep UK Strain at Bay
As highly infectious mutant strains of COVID-19 spread globally, Australia is fighting hard to keep them at bay.
Victoria, NSW and the Northern Territory all revealed positive cases of the virulent UK strain in hotel quarantine on January 9, while Brisbane and surrounding communities were in lockdown because of one locally acquired UK strain case.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said on Saturday Australians should assume mutated COVID-19 variants emanating from the United Kingdom and South Africa will become the world’s dominant strains due to their contagiousness.
She also said mask usage is likely to be mandatory in her state for the foreseeable future.
