Vietnam reports first case of new coronavirus variant

Vietnam has detected its first imported case of the new coronavirus variant that is spreading rapidly around Britain, foreign media say.

The variant was detected in a 45-year-old woman returning to Vietnam from Britain, who was quarantined upon arrival and was confirmed positive for the virus on Dec. 24.The variant includes a genetic mutation that, in theory, could result in the virus spreading more easily between people.

Countries around the world have cut off travel links to Britain to stop the spread of the new variant, which scientists have said is 40-70% more transmissible than the original virus.
