The variation of COVID-19 currently dominating global cases is more infectious than the original strain that emerged in China, according to a new study published Thursday in thescientific journal Cell.

Six rhesus macaques were infected in their trachea with a dose of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They developed mild to mode...
