UK Finds ‘Mutations of Concern’ in Bristol and Liverpool: Health Secretary
British health authorities have identified 43 cases of CCP virus “mutations of concern” in Bristol and Liverpool, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Tuesday.
He told Parliament that 11 cases of “mutations of concern” had been identified in Bristol, and 32 cases in Liverpool.
In response, the government has expanded its ongoing door-to-door testing programme, initially intended to identify cases of the variant first identified in South Africa, to these two areas, he said in an oral statement.
