A New Coronavirus Variant Has Been Discovered in the UK—Here s What Experts Say

Scientists in the UK are investigating a new coronavirus variant to figure out if it s contributing to a faster spread of COVID-19 in certain parts of the country. According to Public Health England (PHE), 1,108 cases with this new variant named VUI – 202012/01 as it s the first variant under investigation in December had been identified as of December 13. The new coronavirus variant: how widespread is it? On December 14, UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock said at least 60 different local authorities, mainly in the South and East of England, had recorded COVID-19 infections caused by the new variant, reported the BBC. The scientists tracking the genetics of the virus, from the COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium, released a statement on December 14 explaining that this variant has a large number of mutations. Of particular interest to the scientists is the N501Y mutation, which is found in the Spike protein, where the coronavirus binds with the rece

British scientists investigating new strain of coronavirus, but downplay concerns

Leicester University virologist Julian Tang told Reuters he believes the new strain would still be vulnerable to the vaccines developed to combat the pandemic. The average member of the public on the street shouldn t worry too much about this. I don t think it s a major issue, he said. I think it s interesting from a virologist point of view looking at how the mutation changes over time, but it doesn t really affect clinical severity, it almost certainly doesn t affect the vaccine response and protection. WATCH | British Virologist explains why there is no need to worry about new coronavirus variant: No need to worry about new coronavirus strain, says virologist

New coronavirus strain spreading in UK has key mutations, scientists say

New coronavirus strain spreading in UK has key mutations, scientists say Published On New coronavirus strain spreading in UK has key mutations, scientists say LONDON (Reuters) - British scientists are trying to establish whether the rapid spread in southern England of a new variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 is linked to key mutations they have detected in the strain, they said on Tuesday. The mutations include changes to the important “spike” protein that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus uses to infect human cells, a group of scientists tracking the genetics of the virus said, but it is not yet clear whether these are making it more infectious.

UK Scientists Urge Caution Over Claims of a Particularly Contagious SARS-CoV-2 Strain

AYLIN WOODWARD, BUSINESS INSIDER 15 DECEMBER 2020 A new coronavirus strain may be fuelling an uptick in spread across the southern UK, according to Health Secretary Matt Hancock. Over the last few days, thanks to our world-class genomic capability in the UK, we have identified a new variant of coronavirus, which may be associated with the faster spread in the South of England, Hancock said Monday, speaking in the House of Commons. He pointed to very sharp exponential rises in the virus across London, Kent, parts of Essex, and Hertfordshire. Hancock added that there s no evidence to suggest this new strain is more deadly or resistant to vaccines. But it could be more transmissible, he said: Initial analysis suggests this variant is growing faster than the existing variants.
