According to Reuters just now, the Swedish Public Health Agency said on the 26th local time that Sweden confirmed the first case of mutant COVID-19 infection.
The report said that the case was a traveler from the United Kingdom who was diagnosed with the virus after he was ill and tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
The report mentioned that Sarah Byforth, a public health official, mentioned at a press conference on the same day that the traveler had been quarantined and had not detected any other positive cases so far.
