Singapore and Denmark have confirmed their first cases of the new coronavirus variant found spreading rapidly in parts of the United Kingdom.
Singapore has confirmed one case, while 11 others in quarantine have returned preliminarily positive results.
Denmark has identified 33 infections with the new strain.
"There is currently no evidence that the B117 strain is circulating in the community," Singapore's health ministry said late on Wednesday, referring to the new, potentially more infectious UK strain.
Singapore has been conducting viral genomic sequencing for confirmed COVID-19 cases who arrived from Europe recently.
The patient with the new variant came to Singapore from the UK on December 6, had been quarantined on arrival and tested positive on December 8.
All her close contacts had been placed on quarantine, and had tested negative at the end of their quarantine period.
Meanwhile, The State Serum Institute (SSI), Denmark's infectious disease authority, said 33 cases had been found in COVID-19 tests carried out between November 14 and December 14.
Denmark has so far analysed genetic material from 7,805 positive tests in that period, meaning the variant was found in about 0.4 per cent of the infections.
"The latest sequencing results indicate that there is societal infection in Denmark with the new English virus variant, albeit at a very low level," the SSI said.
Preliminary information did not suggest the 33 people who contracted the variant had any connection to England or had been travelling in other countries, the SSI said.
More than 40 countries, including Denmark and Singapore, have suspended travel with the United Kingdom, where the new variant of the virus — thought to be more transmissible than others circulating — has spread quickly in southern England, including London.

Anybody want to bet that if this really exists and isn’t another level of propaganda, that the globalists have pushed this out of their lab, wherever it is and are spreading it around?
Is this really a variant of MERS that was brought into the UK?
A new and improved timed release.
This was a given.
Anything to keep this going to get populations thoroughly used to to the Total State.
Snore. Same old bullshit scare garbage about a FLU BRO!
Any evidence that COVID 1.1 is any more lethal than COVID 1.0?
Here is a hypothesis the mask ninnies won’t like.
By obsessively attempting to avoid the virus thru lockdowns and masks, the result is the natural selection of viral strains that more adept at spreading.
If instead of becoming hysterical over Covid, we had instead treated it as another flu, which it is, we would have already achieved natural herd immunity to the original strain, which would provide protection against close variants.
Here we go again.
Well, Evolution and adaption would be Real Science, right?
Nice logic.
No mention of the dead, ABC puke fest
