Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has extended a ban on flights to and from the UK until 6 January. He said that his government has taken this decision due to two new strains of Corona virus found in Britain. According to the report of the news agency Xinhua, earlier these restrictions were imposed for 72 hours. Canada is also included in many countries of the world for banning UK flights due to new strains of the virus. A week ago in the UK, a new corona strain was found that is 70 percent more infectious than the earlier coronavirus.
