Mexico and Brazil are so far resisting a trend among their Latin American neighbors to ban flights from the UK following news of a more transmissible variant of the Covid-19 virus.

The governments of Argentina, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Jamaica and Peru have announced temporary bans on UK flights since yesterday. Uruguay went further by reimposing a border closure.

Among other countries that have blocked UK flights are Canada, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Russia and Turkey. Saudi Arabia has restricted international flights altogether.

"Our specialists say we have to wait, not act politically without having the technical elements," Mexico's president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said today. "Media reports say airports around the world are closing, we will not do the same."
