Brazil has temporarily suspended incoming flights from Britain and banned any individual who has been in Britain in the past 14 days from entering the country, due to the emergence of a new variant of the coronavirus.
In a note in the official gazette, Brazil's government said the ban on flights also applied to those originating elsewhere but connecting in Britain, while the ban on individuals applied to all foreign nationals who have been in Britain in the past fortnight, Reuters reported.
Individuals entering Brazil who have been in Britain will have to quarantine for 14 days, the government said.
