A briefing on a Saturday, that's unusual, something must be concerning them! Can't be that it may be more transmissible or resistant to vaccines, as there is no report saying so... :-)
Seriously, I am quite comfortable with the decision to increase precautions ( - we've continued wearing masks in shops etc anyway - ), but it's possibly a bit late. The Belgian guy took 11 days to show symptoms, which is (IIRC) about 3 days longer than Delta - so three extra days of maybe infecting others he came into contact with.
