The new Covid-19 variant, originating from south-east England, has been identified in Denmark, the Netherlands and as far as Australia, World Health Organization (WHO) Covid-19 technical lead Maria Van Kerkhove said on Sunday.
"We understand that this variant has been identified also in Denmark, in the Netherlands and there was one case in Australia and it didnt spread further there, she told the BBC in a pre-recorded interview.
Asked whether it was her understanding that the new variant originated or evolved from southeastern England, she said: It is, yes. From the information that [the UK] shared with us in either south-east England or in London, yes.
She added that the UK had picked [the existence of the new variant] up in September and seen that this had been circulating in south-east England since September.

Another genie out of the bottle?
Bad news for SF 49r's
Their arguably two leading players, quarterback Jimmy Garappolo, and tight end George Kittle, are both out for weeks to months with injuries sustained in Sunday's game.
Garropolo suffered a re-injury to a strained ankle muscle, and is expected to be out for six weeks, perhaps longer if surgery is needed.
Kittle suffered a broken foot bone and is expected to be out for two months.
Not sure if the team has suitable replacements. Kittle in particular was making quite a splash with his extremely aggressive and successful playing.
Oh well.
I still have my signed 49r's football from 1964.
Song for America
Nobody gives a trump
Henceforth, the word "sh*t" is obsolete.
It is more appropriately replaced with the letters "trump".
As in, "Nobody gives a trump",
or,
"Does a bear trump in the woods?",
or,
"This morning I had a really good trump"...
You get the picture, right?
