The strain is known for being even more contagious than the regular variant and has caused much of the UK into a new lockdown. 

In a tweet, Health Minister Chris Fearne said that the cases are isolated and their contacts have been quarantined.

He urged the public to stay vigilant, responsible, and safe.
