Montgomery County is reporting four cases of the COVID U.K. Variant, which is more contagious than the original strain. The individuals all had mild cases and no history of travel.

Contact tracing shows the mutation appears to be spreading.

“We have confirmed additional cases linked to some of these individuals, therefore, there are additional COVID cases we consider probable for the variant strain,” Montgomery County Commissioners Chair Dr. Valerie Arkoosh said. “All of this signals to us the variant is likely much more widespread within in the community than can be confirmed through lab testing.
