Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency has released (at GISAID) three UK COVID variant sequences, South Korea/KDCA0001/2020, South Korea/KDCA0002/2020, South Korea/KDCA0003/2020, collected on Dec 22.

South African coronavirus virus first confirmed in Japan Arrived in Narita on the 19th December 29, 2020 0:15 New coronavirus It was confirmed that a woman arriving at Narita Airport from South Africa on the 19th of this month was infected with a new mutated coronavirus that was different from the one spreading in the United Kingdom. This is the first time that an infection with this virus has been found by inspection at a domestic quarantine station. According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the infection was confirmed in a woman in her thirties who arrived at Narita Airport from South Africa on the 19th of this month. Inspections at the airport quarantine station confirmed infection with the new coronavirus, and then the samples collected were analyzed by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases and found to be a mutated virus found in South Africa. This is the first time that a domestic quarantine station has confirmed the infection, and although it is different from the mutant virus that is spreading in the United Kingdom, it is said that it may be more infectious than a normal virus as well. .. In addition, it was newly confirmed that six men and women in their teens to 40s who arrived at Haneda Airport from the United Kingdom from the 1st to the 24th of this month were infected with the mutant virus that is spreading locally. It was. This time, the seven people who were confirmed to be infected were waiting at the accommodation facility, so none of them had close contact with them. This brings the total number of confirmed infections to the mutant virus to 15 people.
