BackgroundIn December 2020, a clinically significant SARS-CoV-2 variant with an increased transmission rate was identified in the United Kingdom (1–3). Currently referred to as SARS-CoV-2 VOC-202012/01 (Variant of Concern, year 2020, month 12, variant; VOC-202012/01) or the B. 1.1. 7 variant, it has been identified in multiple countries throughout the world and continues to spread unabatedly (1, 4). VOC-202012/01 appears to be detectable by commonly used nucleic acid-based tests with emergency use authorization (EUA) from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and hopefully will not present a diagnostic challenge for clinical laboratories. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we anticipate additional clinically significant SARS-CoV-2 variants will emerge and we propose several preparatory actions for clinical laboratories.
