Description:In December 2020, the B.1.1.7 genetic Variants of SARS-CoV-2, the Virus that causes COVID-19, was first reported after emergence and rapid circulation in the United Kingdom (1). Evidence suggests that the B.1.1.7 Variants is more efficiently transmitted than are other SARS-CoV-2 Variantss, and widespread circulation could thereby increase SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalization rates (1,2). The first reported SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 Variants case in the United States was confirmed by sequencing in Colorado on December 29, 2020.* This report describes a person who traveled from the United Kingdom to the United States after experiencing COVID-19-compatible symptoms| and was eventually confirmed to be infected with the B.1.1.7 Variants.
