17 cases were detected in Attica, 8 in Crete and only 3 in the gateways of the country.
the mutant strain of coronavirus of Britain has “rooted” forever in our country, as transmitted by Open tv, 32 new mutants were identified cases. Only 3 were located at the gates, while the remaining 29 are scattered throughout the country and this is what is most worrying. In Attica and Crete most of them are identified.
Specifically in basin 17 cases of the mutated coronavirus strain were detected, while 8 Crete.
Your ad in detail ΕΟΔΥ: “The National Public Health Organization in the context of the operation of the Genomic Surveillance Network for coronavirus mutations Following the updated risk assessment of the SARS-CoV-2 mutant strain carried out by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), it is reported that:
The Hellenic Center for Genomics of the Institute for Biological Research of the Academy of Athens (IIBEAA) during the week of January 17 to 23, 2021 completed the genomic analysis of 235 samples. Of these, 172 samples refer to the retrospective control of the period between 11/11/2020 and 12/31/2020, while 63 samples correspond to the period between 01/11/2021 and 01/18/2021 .
The total of 172 samples that were retrospectively reviewed come from Hospitals and Health Centers of the 1st RAE. The test yielded a positive sample for the new SARS-CoV-2 virus strain B.1.1.7 (mutation in Great Britain), with a diagnosis date by molecular PCR test on 12/23/2020.
In addition, the testing of 63 recent samples (11/1 / 21-18 / 1/21) was completed, of which 3 samples come from the front doors, Four samples refer to close contacts of a confirmed case with the mutant strain B.1.1.7, 12 samples come from the Ministry of Culture of Crete and 44 samples from Hospitals and Health Centers of the 1st RAE. From the audit emerged as a whole 32 positive samples for the mutant strain B.1.1.7 of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Specifically:
• 3 samples of the entrance doors.
• 4 samples that are close contacts of confirmed case B.1.1.7.
• 8 samples from the Ministry of Culture of Crete.
• 17 samples from Athens.
The process of tracking positive cases with this strain is already underway. The Genomic Surveillance Network will continue laboratory surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 virus mutations at an even higher rate in the coming weeks. “
