The Colorado State Laboratory confirmed and notified the Center for Disease Control (CDC) of the case.
The individual is a male in his 20s who is currently in isolation in Elbert County and has no travel history, according to the press release from the state.
"The fact that Colorado has detected this variant first in the nation is a testament to the sophistication of Colorado’s response and the talent of CDPHE’s scientist and lab operations,” said Jill Hunsaker Ryan, executive director, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “We are currently using all the tools available to protect public health and mitigate the spread of this variant.”
Public health officials are doing a thorough investigation. The individual is recovering in isolation and will remain there until cleared by public health officials.
The individual has no close contacts identified so far, but public health officials are working to identify other potential cases and contacts through thorough contact tracing interviews.

Just like the first version too little too late followed by too much too late followed by lockdowns for too long. And just in time for the inauguration! Who'da thunk it.

The first case of UK COVID-19 mutation found in US was about to post LOL. It's the UK strain an I agree it's here and containing it will be unsuccessful. Of course, the UK is freaking out as it does seem to be more contagious rumors of their hospitals being overwhelmed but deaths aren't matching the spike.

The contagious new COVID-19 mutation from the UK has officially made it to the United States, Colorado health officials said Tuesday.
The COVID-19 variant that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned could be 70 percent more transmissible was identified in an Elbert County man in his 20s, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement.
“There is a lot we don’t know about this new COVID-19 variant, but scientists in the United Kingdom are warning the world that it is significantly more contagious,” Polis said in a statement posted on Twitter.

Being from Europe I'm blocked by the lazy people that own that site, so I cannot read the article.
Is this about the new variation that appeared in the UK, the one from South Africa or a new one?

Please read the whole thread. Not one poster that has posted so far is fear porning. On the contrary most of us state that we are waiting for the over reaction. Myself included.
Stating that a new strain has been found is just what it is. Nobody is buying plots.
