Russia & India are the latest two countries to join a growing list of countries to ban travel to and from the UK.
Russia is suspending flights from the UK for 7 days while India is blocking all flights until New Year’s Eve from Wednesday.
The move is in response to a new strain of Coronavirus which is thought to be around 70% more infectious than the previous strain, although no more dangerous.
