As of April 10, 2021, there had been 453 reported cases of the B.1.351 SARS-CoV-2 variant, with the highest number of cases found in the state of South Carolina. SARS-CoV-2 variants act differently than the original disease and therefore may spread more quickly or cause more severe disease. The rise of SARS-CoV-2 variants has become increasingly worrisome in many countries. This statistic shows the number of reported cases of SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.351 - a variant first discovered in South Africa in late December 2020 - in the United States as of April 10, 2021, by state or territory.

Note from source: "The emerging variants CDC is closely monitoring have mutations in the virus genome that alter the characteristics and cause the virus to act differently in ways that are significant to public health (e.g., causes more severe disease, spreads more easily between humans, requires different treatments, changes the effectiveness of current vaccines). It’s important to understand that genetic mutations are expected, and some variants can spread and become predominant while others subside."
"The cases identified are based on a sampling of SARS-CoV-2-positive specimens and do not represent the total number of B.1.1.7, B.1.351, and P.1 lineage cases that may be circulating in the United States and may not match numbers reported by states, territories, tribes, and local officials."
