The new variant transmits more easily than the previous one but there is no evidence that it is more likely to cause severe disease or mortality. Main points Data from whole genome sequencing, epidemiology and modelling suggest the new variant ‘VUI – 202012/01’ (the first Variant Under Investigation in December 2020) transmits more easily than […]
