British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said a variant of the coronavirus, which could be up to 70 per cent more transmissible, is spreading rapidly in Britain. A separate variant, first found in South Africa, is also causing concern.

The following countries are among those that have reported variants of the novel coronavirus, first identified in China a year ago, among their populations.
