Samples from April 19/20 detected mutations consistent with Brazilian Variant as well as UK Variant Samples from April 26/27 showed dramatic drop in presence of mutations consistent with Brazilian Variant, with continued presence of UK Variant X Di . gr .· m provided by GT ·.. olecu~ar The presence of both of these mutations is a strong indicator that the UK and Brazilian Variants are circulating in the City.
