$CAPR from Reuters.[ highly infectious coronavirus variant B.1.1.7]

Shortly after Biden’s remarks,
Colorado Governor Jared Polis said his state had discovered the nation’s first
known case of the highly infectious coronavirus variant B.1.1.7,

which was originally documented in the United Kingdom. Scientists there believe the variant is more contagious than other previously identified

strains of the SAR-CoV-2 variant but no more severe in the symptoms it causes.

It has also been detected in several European countries,
as well as in
Canada,
Australia,
India,
South Korea and
Japan,
among others.

Polis said in a statement the infected patient was a man in his 20s
with no recent travel history who is currently in isolation in Elbert County,

a semi-rural area on the outskirts of the greater Denver metropolitan area.
