Neither the patients from Salzburg nor those from Bucharest went abroad.

Coronavirus – the second year

It has been more than a year since the Chinese authorities informed the WHO of the emergence of a new, rapidly spreading virus. Since then, there has hardly been a person in the world who has not heard the term Covid-19, and more and more people are mourning the family member or friend with whom the new disease ended as stocks collapsed in weeks and our entire lives were rewritten. by the epidemic. By now, the vaccines have been completed, which in turn raises not only hope, but again many questions, while not only stopping the virus, but also threatening another mutation. You can find the details of this fight in our article series.

The first Brazilian mutant virus was identified in Salzburg, Austria, on Monday, the Austrian daily Der Standard reported.

The suspicion had already arisen in the man’s positive coronavirus test two weeks ago, so the sample was further examined and it was confirmed on Monday that he was the first Austrian infected with the Brazilian virus. It was unclear where he could have contracted the disease, the man had not been abroad and had not met anyone who could have returned to him from freedom, possibly passing to this mutant. The isolation of the infected man was extended and everyone he met was placed in home quarantine. The authorities are not aware of any other case.

The Brazilian version was also released in Romania, the Institute of Public Health (INSP) said on Monday, a few days after a healthcare provider also detected the South African virus variant in two Romanian patients.

The INSP was informed by the Matei Bals Epidemiological Hospital in the capital that it had detected a Brazilian mutation in the SarsCov2 P.1 virus in two patients in Bucharest with symptoms of coronavirus who also suffered from other diseases. One is a 38-year-old man who has not been abroad and who does not know where he was infected, and the other is a 57-year-old man whose other two companions were also infected, so it can be assumed that he received the disease from them. The epidemiological investigation is still ongoing.

National Director Cecília Müller told operational staff on March 8 that the British mutation had so far been detected in 1,305 people in Hungary, five in South Africa and 13 in the Czech version. In 145 people, the experts identified a strain that was not epidemiologically relevant, according to Müller. The Brazilian mutation has not been reported so far in Hungary.
