LONDON, LELEMUKU.COM - In Britain's fight to stop the spread of the coronavirus, everyone flying into the country, including citizens, will be required to self-isolate for 14 days.

International travelers will have to provide an address and will be subjected to spot checks and fines if they breach quarantine, Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis told Sky News on Friday. The new protocol is expected to begin next month.

While Europe has been hard-hit by the outbreak, Latin America is becoming a coronavirus hotspot. Brazil now has thethird-highest number of cases in the world after the U.S. and Russia after recording more than 20,000 deaths and a record 1,188 deaths in a 24-hour period.
