Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 variant, which was first identified in the United Kingdom, has increased sharply in number of cases worldwide and was reported to be more contagious than the nonvariant. To our knowledge, no studies investigating the detailed clinical features of COVID-19 cases infected with the B.1.1.7 variant have been published.
