PM Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a travel restriction on passengers from the United Kingdom is being extended by two weeks.

The original 72 hour ban imposed on Sunday was set to expire today.

Trudeau says the new ban will last until Jan. 6.

The U.K. is struggling with a new strain of COVID-19 that experts suggest is more contagious than other variants.

Britain is battling a new, apparently more contagious strain of COVID-19 and today recorded 744 deaths, the most since April.
