The UK health authorities have located the person who tested positive for the Brazilian COVID-19 variant but did not register their personal information, Public Health England (PHE) confirmed on Friday.

PHE said on Feb. 28 that six cases of the Brazilian P.1 variant had been detected in the UK, three in England, and three more in Scotland. But one of the cases in England could not be traced as they did not complete their test registration card.
