A new type of coronavirus has also been identified, previously detected in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, South Africa, Denmark and Australia. The new type of COVID-19 is more contagious, but no more dangerous than others.
It is reported by the BBC, citing the World Health Organization.
Maria Van Kerkhove, spokeswoman for the WHO Health Emergencies Program, said the organization has been tracking mutations of the coronavirus during the pandemic.
Yesterday in Italy the first case of contagion with a new type of coronavirus was confirmed. Doctors at the Celio military clinic in Rome have discovered this strain of the virus in a man who recently arrived from the UK.
In addition, the Italian Health Ministry noted that the new strain of the virus is much easier to transmit from person to person. Vaccines developed against the coronavirus, according to Italian experts, also work against the new type of COVID-19.
At the moment, Britain’s coronavirus has been confirmed in the Netherlands, South Africa, Denmark, Australia, Italy.
In this regard, the World Health Organization urges Europe to strengthen approaches to control and prevent the spread of the virus.
“Across Europe, where transmission is intense and widespread, countries must redouble their control and prevention approaches,” WHO said.
We will recall, the UK government emergency committee will call an urgent meeting due to a new strain of coronavirus.
The British Health Ministry said the situation with the new strain of coronavirus “got out of control” by the authorities.
