Permanent Secretary Dr. James Fong says from the beginning they have acted as if this is the variant.
Dr. Fong also says they have already said that the original virus seems to have come from India.
He adds he expects to get more details from the samples they sent to Australia by today.
Dr.Fong also says this will enable him to discuss more extensively in terms of what it means.
