The Denmark variant (L452R)
Where and when was it discovered?
This variant was detected in Denmark in March 2020.

Where is it now?
The mutation has been spreading in Northern California and has been linked to outbreaks at nursing homes, jails and a hospital in the San Jose area. It has also been confirmed in Southern California and more than a dozen other states.

What makes it different?
It’s not yet clear whether this coronavirus strain is any more transmissible or lethal than the dominant mutation.

Will vaccines work?
Some scientists think this variant might be more resistant to vaccinesbecause the mutation is in the spike protein, which enables the virus to attach to cells. But scientists also say that more study is needed before they can draw conclusions.
