New data released over the weekend added to concerns about the ability of the Covid variant first detected in India – B.1.617.2 – to spread in the UK, but brought relief by suggesting that the vaccines still offer considerable protection against this growing threat.
With many still not eligible for vaccines or partially vaccinated, what does this mean for the government’s roadmap out of restrictions?
What do we know about the transmissibility of the India variant?
Data shows that B.1.617.2 has continued to replace B.1.1.7, the so-called Kent variant that became dominant in the UK last year – and in some places by a considerable margin. In the two weeks to 15 May, the variant accounted for 81% of analysed samples in Bedford, 90.4% in Blackburn and 64% in Wigan, according to the Wellcome Sanger Institute’s Covid-19 genomic surveillance data, which excludes recent travellers and surge-testing specimens.
