INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – The Washoe County Health District on Friday announced its first case of the COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7, also known as the UK variant.
The Nevada State Public Health Laboratory confirmed the new variant, which was first detected in the United Kingdom.
The confirmed case is a female in her 30s whose infection is linked to attendance at a large gathering in Washoe County with more than 60 people from multiple states.
So far, there have been reports of 17 additional COVID-19 infections linked to this event, though not all of the 17 cases are Washoe County residents.
Additional genomic sequencing is underway to determine if more B.1.1.7 cases are confirmed but many specimens are not available for genomic sequencing.
