The second most “transmissible” strain of coronavirus detected in the UK – BBC News

The health secretary has reported that two cases have been detected in the UK with another new strain of coronavirus. Both were contacts of cases that have traveled from South Africa in recent weeks, he said. He said: “This new variant is very worrying because it is even more contagious and seems to have mutated more than the new variant found in the UK.” The health secretary said the two cases and the close relationship of the cases have been quarantined. There are immediate restrictions on travel from South Africa and the government is telling those who have been in contact with anyone who has been in South Africa for the last fortnight to have a quarantine. And he added: “These measures are provisional as we investigate further this new strain that will soon be explored in Porton Down.” Please subscribe HERE .
