    Ahead of Christmas and New Year celebrations, he also urged people to be cautious.

  • The UK has reported a mutated strain of the coronavirus, which authorities say is as much as 70% more infectious.

    Experts argue that more studies are needed to see if the claim of the new strain being more transmissible holds water.
