Two new cases of coronavirus have been identified in the UK in which someone from South Africa has received a mutation that is more effective than a traditional coronavirus. Both cases are related to trips to South Africa, writes the BBC.
The British Health Minister thanked the South African authorities for communicating the new virus mutation quickly and transparently.
Recently, two new mutations have been identified in the virus. One in the UK and the other in South Africa. The two mutations show similar traits, but they developed separately. What they have in common is that they appear to infect more efficiently and quickly than previously known mutations in the coronavirus. The South African mutation is already the predominant viral mutation in some parts of the country, and it is spreading very rapidly. Against the two countries, more than fifty states have closed their borders.
Furthermore, the epidemic is already breaking records in the UK (where the world’s first mass vaccination campaign began on December 8): 39,237 new cases and 744 deaths were reported on Thursday. New austerity measures are being introduced in the country, introducing the strictest epidemiological grade in new parts of the country, where it is forbidden to leave the apartment without good reason and meet people living in other homes.
