A third province in Canada has reported detecting the U.K. mutation of the COVID-19 virus.

Alberta’s chief medical health officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw confirmed today (December 28) that its first case of the U.K. variant has been confirmed in the province. An individual who recently arrived from the U.K. tested positive. Neither the location of the individual nor the flight number were identified, and no other details were provided.

“The good news is that this individual did everything they were supposed to do, following quarantine and other public health measures, and at this point there is no evidence that there has been any further spread,” Hinshaw stated in a news release.

After Ontario confirmed Canada’s first two cases of the U.K. variant on December 26, B.C. confirmed its first case of the U.K. variant on December 27—an individual from the Island Health region had travelled from the U.K.

On the same day, Ottawa also confirmed a case.

Canada suspended flights from the U.K. on December 20, and extended the ban until January 6.

In addition, a second variant was also detected in South Africa. 

Today, Canada surpassed 15,000 COVID-19-related deaths
