If the new strain is showing up in the UK now, and you haven’t had the borders closed for the past 2-4 weeks, there is little point to starting now (in terms of stopping it from getting to the US entirely anyway).

And the new strain was first recorded on September 16th. It's laughable to think it hasn't spread further (although hopefully I'm wrong on this).
