According to new research from Cedars-Sinai, a new strain of coronavirus has been detected in more than one-third of COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles and
may lead to the acceleration of the recent surge of cases across Southern California. It is suspected that the strain designated by the investigators as CAL.20C is partially responsible for the drastic rise in cases over the last two months.
The results from Cedars-Sinai did not suggest whether the strain is more deadly than existing coronavirus types. CAL.20C is different from the form of the virus recognized in Britain-;known as B.1.1.7-;that is spreading in the U.S. and
is considered to be highly transmissible. In Los Angeles, San Diego and San Bernardino counties, B.1.1.7 has been found in scattered coronavirus cases in Southern California. In comparison, in 36.4 percent of cases in the Cedars-Sinai sample, the CAL.20C strain was reported.
Based on data submitted by Cedars-Sinai and other investigators, CAL.20C contains a virus variant that was identified by the California Department of Public Health on Jan. 17.
This form, known as L452R, is one of five recurring mutations that make up the strain of CAL.20C, which propagates throughout the country, and begun in Los Angeles.
