Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Chrystia Freeland will be making an announcement on new federal COVID-19 measures on Thursday morning.

A new, slightly more contagious mutation of the highly transmissible Delta variant of COVID-19 is beginning to attract attention — particularly in the United Kingdom, where cases are rising again.

The mutation, known as AY.4.2, accounted for six per cent of all new cases genetically sequenced during the final week of September, according to the latest U.K. government data, which also describes it as “expanding” in the country.

The Public Health Agency of Canada confirmed Tuesday that the mutation — which is being dubbed “Delta plus” — has made its way to Canada, with nine cases identified since July.

In a statement to Global News, a spokesperson said nine cases were identified between July and late September, adding the agency is also “closely” monitoring the mutation.
