The Nevada County Public Health department announced Wednesday that it has confirmed the first identified instance of the B.1.429 Variant of COVID-19 in Nevada County. Public Health officials requested genetic sequencing of a positive test in February, after a person who already had COVID-19 was re-infected. Results from the State lab came back Tuesday.

As of April 1, 2021, there were 6,287 known cases of the B.1.429 variant in California.
