schema:articleBody	Gibraltar on Monday announced it would keep tests in place for visitors from the UK, following concerns over the spread of the more transmissible coronavirus variant that first emerged in India. The snap decision was taken on the first day that Britain lifted a ban on international travel to 12 "green-list" countries with low infections and a high vaccination rate, among them Gibraltar. The decision was taken before the first UK flight touched down at the territory's airport on Monday morning, with all arrivals subjected to a lateral flow antigen test, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo told Gibraltar's parliament. "The government has had to take the tough decision to continue testing all arrivals from the United Kingdom," he said, pointing to concerns about the spread of the Indian variant raised by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. "Given the concerns expressed by the prime minister in the UK and the advice we have received... the decision was taken by a ministerial sub-committee to continue testing arrivals, with a quick lateral flow test." On Friday, British health officials said the number of cases had more than doubled in a week, warning the variant was "beginning to spread increasingly rapidly" in northwest England and Johnson warning it could "pose serious disruption" to Britain's reopening plans. Top UK health officials believe there is a "realistic possibility" the Indian variant could spread 50 percent faster, Picardo said. Spotted for the first time in October 2020 in India, the B.1.617 strain has now spread to at least 44 countries and been classified as a "variant of concern" by the World Health Organization, although authorities still know relatively little about it. Lateral flow antigen tests are used on people without symptoms who may still be spreading the virus. They do not need to be sent to a lab and provide results within 30-60 minutes. hmw/kjl
