LONDON (Reuters) - A coronavirus variant first found a few months ago in Britain is now “taking over” and causing 98% of all cases in the UK, the scientist leading the country’s variant-tracking research said on Thursday.

Sharon Peacock said the UK variant, known as B.1.1.7, also appears to be gaining a firm grip in many of the 100 or so other countries it has spread to in the past few months.
“It’s around 50% more transmissible - hence its success in really taking over the country,” said Peacock, director of the COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) consortium of scientists monitoring mutations in the coronavirus. ....

It was designated a new variant on March 4 after it was found in the south-east of England in two people who travelled back from the Caribbean.
Variants are mutant versions of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19, which has already killed more than 2.7 million people since the pandemic began a year ago.
Although scientists say that such mutations are inevitable, Covid-19 variants of concern, such as those first identified in England, South Africa and Brazil, have worrying changes that give the virus advantages. These can be increased transmissibility or an ability to beat the protection offered by vaccines. ....
