Coronavirus variant B.1.1.7 between 30 to 100 per cent more deadly than previous strains: major UK study
LONDON, March 10 (Reuters) — A highly infectious variant of COVID-19 that has spread around the world since it was first discovered in Britain late last year is between 30% and 100% more deadly than previous strains, researchers said on Wednesday.
