WHO predicts new coronavirus mutations
The coronavirus will continue to mutate, the WHO warned, but assured that new strains will be monitored.
The WHO predicts that the coronavirus will continue to mutate, but promises to keep a close eye on new strains. About that set in the organization on Monday, December 28.
According to the head of the technical team of the WHO Emergency Diseases Unit, Maria Van Kerkhove, COVID-19 mutations are a natural process.
“Mutations will continue, mutations are a natural process. This is not significantly reflected in the virus itself, but we must continue to explore these options, particularly from the point of view of its transmission,” said Van Kerkhove.
In turn, the head of the WHO, Tedros Adanom Ghebreyesus, added that in 2021 the world will face new variants of the coronavirus and urged countries to share information on new strains with the WHO and other states in a timely manner.
We will remember that previously the head of the WHO warned that the COVID-19 pandemic is not the last. Epidemics are a reality in life, so it is necessary to build powerful health systems, the organization believes.
