Unfortunately, what happened was to be feared: in addition to the British-type variant of the coronavirus that caused the third wave of the epidemic, the South African mutation has already been shown to be present in Hungary. This is the much more vaccine resistant variant.
The South African mutation was identified at Neumann Labs using a recently introduced PCR test by a Hungarian diagnostic company that can detect recently released variants of the coronavirus.
It was already known that a much more contagious British mutation was present in Hungary, which could lead to an increase in the number of infections. In recent weeks, 90 percent of positive tests at Neumann Labs have shown a British mutation, but no South African or Brazilian variant has been found. Up to now.
“The presence of the South African mutant has been detected in several EU Member States, such as France or Austria, but no similar case has been identified in Hungary so far. However, with the new combined PCR test that we presented, we were able to identify the mutation, which was also confirmed by experts at the National Center for Public Health, ”said Miklós Nyíri, managing director of Neumann Labs.
According to the laboratory, although the South African coronavirus variant can be tested in a single person at the moment, it can be assumed that this mutation has already infected several people in Hungary.
The Hungarian-owned Neumann Labs diagnostic laboratory has been offering PCR coronavirus testing since the coronavirus exploded in Hungary last spring. So far, the lab has tested more than 100,000 in recent months, 16 percent of whom have been diagnosed with a coronavirus infection.
