COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7

Today we discovered Colorado’s first case of the COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7, the same variant discovered in the UK.

The health and safety of Coloradans is our top priority and we will monitor this case, as well as all COVID-19 indicators, very closely. pic.twitter.com/fjyq7QhzBi

The UK COVID-19 variant that might be way more contagious (they’re not positive yet, although it seems likely that it is) is in the United States.

Update: They found it in California, too.
