Here’s what we know about the new coronavirus variant found in US
The United States’ first known case of the new coronavirus variant was discovered in Colorado on Tuesday, according to state health officials.
The variant, called B.1.1.7, has been linked to the United Kingdom. The man who was infected is in his 20s, is isolating and appears to have no travel history, according to Gov. Jared Polis.
That man had been working at an assisted living facility in Elbert County. Health officials suspect, but have yet to confirm, that another man who worked there also came down with the variant, the county’s public health director said Wednesday.
