Thursday December 24, 2020, 12:11 AM Samples were detected outside of London and the South East of England where the new strain is thought to have originated. Credit: PA Researchers have found the new and more infectious variant of Covid-19 has already spread around the UK, with cases identified in south Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Covid-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) consortium sampled cases around the UK and found the variant in the South West, Midlands and North of England – areas ...

Genomic researchers have found the new and more infectious variant of Covid-19 has already spread around the UK, with cases identified in Wales and Scotland. The Covid-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) consortium sampled cases around the UK and found the variant is also in the South West, Midlands and North of England – areas that are under Tier 2 and 3 restrictions. Scientists Professor Lawrence Young and Professor Robert Dingwall explained the new variant is more transmissible because it “sticks”...

BBC News By Rachel Schraer image copyrightSCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY A new variant of the virus causing Covid-19, first spotted in Kent, could already be circulating - or have originated from - outside the UK. But it was spotted here because of the strength of the UKs surveillance system, scientists have said. The Covid-19 Genomics Consortium (Cog-UK) has tracked the genetic history of more than 150,000 samples of Sars-Cov-2 virus. That equates to about half the worlds genetic sequencing of coronavi...
