Nigerian authorities have confirmed the discovery of a new strain of the Corona virus, which is a special form of mutation, noting that it differs from the one recently found in Britain.
According to (Arabia.net), the director of the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, John Nkengasung, said: “We are talking about a special mutated virus, which does not look like the variant that was recently discovered in the Kingdom. United, however, may be due to the strain discovered in Nigeria Some similarities to the variant of Coronavirus 501 V2 identified on December 18 in South Africa. “
The health official considered it too early to talk about the characteristics of the new strain of the Corona virus, adding that “more research is needed.”
Notably, the new mutated virus was detected in samples taken on August 3 and October 9 in the Nigerian state of Osun.
Preliminary data shows that the new viral strain is not aggressive, like that discovered in South Africa, and the mutated corona virus “501 V2” discovered in South Africa has triggered a strong second wave of the epidemic.
