China has detected its first imported case of the new coronavirus variant that is spreading rapidly around UK, according to a publication run by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The first patient in China with the new variant is a 23-year-old woman from Shanghai who arrived from UK on December 14, the Chinese Centre for Disease Control said in a research note published Wednesday.
 
She was hospitalised on arrival as she showed mild symptoms. Health experts conducted a genetic sequencing of her test samples on December 24 "due to travel history from the UK and abnormalities in nucleic acid test results"," the China CDC said.
 
The patient was found to have a strain different to those found in Shanghai or Wuhan earlier, and further testing confirmed it was the variant known as B.1.1.7 that has been spreading in the UK since October.
 

Health authorities have carried out contact-tracing, the CDC statement added.
