STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – The new strain of coronavirus circulating in Britain has been discovered in Sweden after a British traveler became ill on arrival and tested positive for it, the Health Agency said. Sweden on Saturday.

Health Group official Sara Byfors told a news conference that the unidentified passenger had been left alone after arriving in Sweden and no other positive cases have been found so far.

The new variable is thought to be more mobile than the others currently in circulation.

Sweden imposed travel restrictions earlier this month on British travelers amid concerns about the opposite. Similar steps have been taken by several other EU countries and around the world. [L8N2J3105]
