A new variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has been identified across the South East of England. The variant was identified due to Public Health England’s (PHE) proactive and enhanced monitoring following the increase in cases seen in Kent and London. The variant has been named ‘VUI – 202012/01’ (the first Variant Under Investigation […]

Background The WHO-COM is an expert group of more than 150 scientists around the world with expertise in animal models of viral diseases. Since February 2020 the group has met weekly to discuss advances, foster collaborations, share resources and reagents and avoid duplication of effort. The WHO-COM met on 22 December 2020 to discuss current […]
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 […]
