New variant' of coronavirus identified in UK, health secretary says
It is "highly unlikely" the new mutation would not respond to a coronavirus vaccine, Mr Hancock told the Commons today.
More than 1,000 cases of the new variant have been found, "predominantly in the south of England", Mr Hancock told the House of Commons this afternoon.
It is spreading faster than the existing strain of the virus and believed to be fuelling the "very sharp, exponential rises" in cases across the South East, he said.
