The European Commission has recommended that EU countries introduce an "emergency break" on travel from southern Africa in response to the new coronavirus variant which was first detected there, APA reports citing BBC.

EC President Ursula von der Leyen says the move will help "limit the spread" of the variant, recommending all air travel to affected countries be suspended.

Returning travellers from the region should "respect strict quarantine rules", she adds.
