A "handful" of Indian variant cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Lincolnshire.
Professor Derek Ward, Lincolnshire County Council’s director for public health, said it was "very small numbers" and he was "comfortable" the cases had mainly centred around people who had returned from foreign travel or who were connected with people who had.
Officially called B.1.617.2 - it is one of four mutated versions of coronavirus which have been designated as being "of concern" by UK public health bodies, with others first being identified in Kent, South Africa and Brazil.
Experts believe the India variant has mutations that may make it more transmissible, but it is not yet known if it causes more severe disease or if it might make current vaccines less effective.
Professor Ward said: "With this variant, it looks like the vaccines are working perfectly well, it looks like you’ll get the same sorts of disease, no worse no better. It’s just a bit more transmissible."
