Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced Tuesday that state health officials have detected the first known US case of a more transmissible COVID-19 variant first detected in the United Kingdom.
Polis said state officials have informed the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the case, describing the patient as a male in his 20s who is currently in isolation in a county southeast of Denver.
The patient had no previous travel history, meaning he was likely infected from a source within the community. Public health officials are carrying out an investigation while the man recovers, health officials said.
