The variant emerged in Brazil in December, where it raced through the country’s seventh most populous city, Manaus. It was first reported outside the country in Japan, having been found there in travellers from Brazil, and it was confirmed to have reached the eastern U.S. in January. Canada reported its first case in February. A Toronto resident who tested positive for the variant was hospitalized after travelling from Brazil. The U.S has only 356 cases so far, compared to Canada’s more than 15,000. The variant has now been detected in more than a dozen countries in the Americas and become a major cause for concern.
