A new Covid variant which has ripped through India and seen the country bring back face masks has been detected in the UK with 50 cases now reported.
MailOnline has revealed that a new Covid variant called 'Arcturus', which has been wreaking havoc in India, has already been detected in Britain. Hospitals in India are on red alert, with some states reintroducing compulsory face masks to curb the rocketing infection rates, which have increased 13-fold in the past month.
'Arcturus' is a spin-off of the Omicron variant and is believed to be the most contagious variant yet.
