The first case of a South African covid-19 variant has now been found in Denmark

The first case of the South African covid-19 variant has been found in Denmark. This is stated by the Statens Serum Institut.

The Danish covid-19 case of B.1.351 / 501Y was found on Zealand and is associated with a trip to Dubai.

The variant has both the 501Y mutation, which is associated with greater infectivity, and the 484K mutation, which may lead to a decrease in sensitivity to the protective antibodies in patients who have recovered from COVID-19 infection.

The Danish case has been found by SSI’s general sequencing monitoring. The Danish Agency for Patient Safety carries out intensive infection detection and containment of the detected cases with variants that require special attention.
