U.S. not banning flights from U.K. despite spread of more
infectious coronavirus variant

More than 40 countries have banned British travelers, but the U.S. has not taken that action. Infectious disease expert Dr. Amesh Adalja tells “CBSN AM” how genetic surveillance through virus sequencing, rather than travel restrictions, is a more effective tool against the spread.
