* FTSE 100 down 0.1%, FTSE 250 adds 0.1%

Jan 11 (Reuters) - The FTSE 100 inched lower on Monday as a
jump in coronavirus cases across Europe stoked worries about its
near-term economic impact, while Signature Aviation surged on
reaching an agreement for a takeover deal with Global
Infrastructure Partners.
The blue-chip FTSE 100 index .FTSE dipped 0.1%, with
mining .FTNMX1770 and healthcare stocks .FTNMX4530 leading
the declines.
Britain's chief medical adviser warned that the next few
weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic will be the worst as the new,
highly-infectious variants of the virus rampage across the
country. Global coronavirus cases surpassed 90 million, as nations
continue to scramble to procure vaccines and extend or reinstate
lockdowns to fight new virus variants. The mid-cap index .FTMC rose 0.1%.
British airline easyJet EZJ.L jumped 1.2% after it boosted
its liquidity through a new five-year loan facility of $1.87
billion, backed by a partial guarantee from Britain.
Signature Aviation SIGSI.L jumped 6% after Global
Infrastructure Partners, the former owner of London's Gatwick
Airport, said that it reached an agreement to buy the company
for about $4.63 billion, trumping an approach from Blackstone
Group BX.N .
