that wasnt actually what they said.

They said that like the new variant found already in the uk..this other SA variant is also more contagious than the original.. not that It is more contagious than the new variant

The UK and SA have the most extensive testing capabilities by far that enable variants to be identified - so it shouldn't be a surprise that variants are being identified in both countries. It's very probable there are variants all over the world, but most countries do not have the testing capability to identify them as variants.

You've got to praise the scientists and SA government for acting so swiftly on this one.

On a mooch

To be fair to the OP the BBC is quoting him as saying it is yet more transmissible :-

Hancock now says there are two cases of another new variant in the UK.

Both are contacts of cases who have travelled from South Africa.

"We are incredibly grateful to the South African government for their science," he says.

"This virus is yet more transmissible and appears to have mutated further than the new virus."

He says the UK is quarantining new cases, and placing restrictions on travel from South Africa.

Anyone who has been in South Africa in the past fortnight and anyone who is a close contact of someone who has been in South Africa in the last fortnight must quarantine immediately, he says.
