"There is currently no evidence that this variant (or any other studied to date) has any impact on disease severity, or that it will render vaccines less effective, although both questions require further studies performed at pace. We will provide further updates ....."
@CovidGenomicsUK has released some information about the new variant identified, confirming it contains S:N501Y.
Importantly: "Efforts are under way to confirm whether or not any of these mutations are contributing to increased transmission."
