WHO emergencies chief Mike Ryan said new strains were a normal part of the evolution of a pandemic, and that it was not "out of control", contradicting the UK's Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who used those words on Sunday.

And in the rest of the world?

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman have shut their borders completely to international passengers.
Along with Denmark, the new strain has also been detected in Australia, Italy and the Netherlands.
The handful of cases found in Denmark prompted Sweden to ban arrivals from there, the first time it has imposed such restrictions on a neighbour.
"There is an obvious risk that Danes will be tempted to cross over to Sweden to shop for Christmas presents," Home Affairs Minister Mikael Damberg said, according to the AFP news agency.
Some experts believe that the new strain has already spread beyond where it has been reported, crediting the UK's use of genomic surveillance for detecting it.
"I think we will find in the coming days that a lot of other countries will find it," Marc Van Ranst, a virologist from the Rega Institute for Medical Research in Belgium, told broadcaster VRT.
