The Delta AY.4.2 COVID sub-variant, which has sparked interest recently due to its rise in the U.K., has been found around the world in 29 countries.
The data, from the GISAID virus reporting database and collected and displayed by Outbreak.Info, shows the variant is almost totally limited to the U.K. but that cases have been reported in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and parts of western Europe.
Of the 15,459 AY.4.2 cases to have been sequenced worldwide from October 18, some 14,705 were from the U.K. The country with the next highest prevalence is Romania, followed by Poland, Ireland, and then Bangladesh.
