  75. <div data-component="unordered-list-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><div class="css-1pzprxn-BulletListContainer e5tfeyi3"><ul role="list"><li>It is rapidly replacing other versions of the virus</li><li>It has mutations that affect part of the virus likely to be important </li><li>Some of those mutations have already been shown in the lab to increase the ability of the virus to infect cells</li></ul></div></div></div>
  76. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>All of these come together to build a case for a virus that can spread more easily. </p></div></div>
  77. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>However, we do not have absolute certainty. New strains can become more common simply by being in the right place at the right time - such as London, which had only tier two restrictions until recently. </p></div></div>
  78. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>But already the justification for tier four restrictions is in part to reduce the spread of the variant.</p></div></div>
  79. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>"Laboratory experiments are required, but do you want to wait weeks or months [to see the results and take action to limit the spread]? Probably not in these circumstances," Prof Nick Loman, from the Covid-19 Genomics UK Consortium, told me.</p></div></div><p data-component="crosshead-block" class="css-mysbf6-ComponentWrapper-CrossheadComponentWrapper e1xue1i84"><h2 class="css-qozapo-StyledHeading e1fj1fc10">How much faster is it spreading? </h2></p><div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>It was first detected in September. In November around a quarter of cases in London were the new variant. This reached nearly two-thirds of cases in mid-December. </p></div></div>
  80. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>You can see how the variant has come to dominate the results of testing in some centres such as the Milton Keynes Lighthouse Laboratory.</p></div></div>
  81. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>Mathematicians have been running the numbers on the spread of different variants in an attempt to calculate how much of an edge this one might have. </p></div></div>
  82. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>But teasing apart what is due to people's behaviour and what is due to the virus is hard.</p></div></div>
  83. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>The figure mentioned by Prime Minister Boris Johnson was that the variant may be up to 70% more transmissible. He said this may be increasing the R number - which indicates if an epidemic is growing or shrinking - by 0.4. </p></div></div>
  84. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>During the talk he said: "It is really too early to tell… but from what we see so far it is growing very quickly, it is growing faster than [a previous variant] ever grew, but it is important to keep an eye on this."</p></div></div>

  86. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>But there remain questions about whether it is any more infectious at all. </p></div></div>

  88. <div data-component="text-block" class="css-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83"><div class="css-83cqas-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2"><p>The variant can be found across the UK, except Northern Ireland, but it is heavily concentrated in London, the South East and eastern England.
