This is what the World Health Organization has confirmed about the new strain “Corona”

Sylvie Briand, director of the epidemiology department of the World Health Organization, confirmed that “this international institution has not yet recorded any impact of the new Corona mutation on the mortality rate from it.”

According to her, there is nothing surprising about what is happening now, because viruses can mutate, and more studies are needed to understand whether the effect of the Corona virus in humans has changed.

The expert added: “The new strain of the virus is unlikely to have any effect on the vaccine’s ability, but more studies are needed.”

And he emphasized that “whenever a virus mutation is discovered, the new characteristics that it acquires must be determined, if there are important changes or if it is simply a natural evolution.”

The World Health Representative emphasized not succumbing to panic and expressed her belief that “the measures taken by Great Britain will slow down the spread of the new Corona surge, and” its spread will not be rapid in the period before the massive use of vaccines “.

Meanwhile, Sylvie Briand acknowledged that “the situation remains unclear, and it is difficult to determine whether to resort to caution” and take additional measures.

Several days ago, British Health Minister Matt Hancock announced the identification of “a new type of Corona virus that may be related to the faster spread of the virus in the southeast of the country.”
