The new Kovid 19 virus strain, called B1.525, has been identified as being very similar to the new strain of the virus found in South Africa.

The researchers also told the BBC that the virus variant has been found in Denmark, the United States and Nigeria.

However, the effects of the new virus have not yet been identified, and researchers, as well as health officials, say further research is needed to determine the impact of the virus as well as its spread in the population.
