The state quietly passed a milestone this week, recording its 7 millionth COVID-19 test, but even as the pace of testing has slowed, laboratory data suggest that the number of cases that could be caused by the B.1.1.7 variant is rising sharply.
The new data released late Thursday by Dr. Nathan Grubaugh, an associate professor of epidemiology at Yale’s School of Public Health, show there were at least 152 confirmed cases of the B.1.1.7 variant as of the end of February.
