Viruses are constantly mutating. It is their way of life: change to survive. It cannot be excluded that this variant is not already circulating in other countries, including Italy. We will have to continue studying the viral genome of the virus strains isolated in our country ”. Thus, Professor Matteo Bassetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino Polyclinic in Genoa, comments on Facebook about the new variant of SarsCoV-2 that worries the public. England: “Vaccines already approved or still under study will work the same as vaccines cause our body to produce antibodies against many parts of the spike protein and the described mutation affects only a small part. So don’t panic. We monitor, we study and continue with the vaccine plan, “continues Bassetti. And he adds: “There have been 17 mutations, the most significant of which is N501Y in the spike protein that the virus uses to adhere to human cells. This mutation would make it spread more easily. It is not the first mutation to be described. in the world and it will not be the last. Similar mutations have already been described in Spain and other countries. “
