Iran Press/Europe: The British Prime Minister warned that the evidence shows, the new British variant of Coronavirus is more deadly than the original virus.
Boris Johnson added: "If the infected cases are not decreased in the country, the restrictions will continue."
Johnson said the UK National Health Service is under a lot of pressure due to the rampant spread of the virus.
A new variant of the coronavirus was first identified on September 21 in Kent, but British officials kept it a secret for three months.
British scientists believe that the new species is up to 70% more contagious and has a higher viral load in people infected. 219
