‘It was just a matter of time’ until coronavirus variant arrived in Centre County amid rising cases
A little over one year after the first coronavirus case was reported in Centre County, a more infectious variant has arrived in the Centre region. The B.1.1.7 variant, also referred to as the United Kingdom variant, was first discovered at Penn State in tested wastewater samples and was confirmed in a “COVID-19 Status Update” with university officials and community leaders on March 26.
