World Health Organization officials held a news briefing on Monday Corona virus Responsible for new tensions in both South Africa and the UK
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanam said: New strain of virus spreading in the UK It has been reported to be more contagious, but there is no evidence that it is more lethal. He said having a transmission of coronavirus is the key – the more chance there is of the virus spreading, the more chance it has of mutation.
The new strain of the virus in the UK has forced the European Union and dozens of countries around the world to close their borders to country travelers and to UK officials. Tighten restrictions at home.
Maria van Kerkov, WHO’s technical lead epidemiologist for coronavirus, said UK researchers were looking at transmission rates for new strains and had seen an increase. Researchers are also investigating whether the variant COVID-19 or more leads to more severe cases of death, and have yet to see any signs of it, as well as research into antibody responses to new strains.
While the coronavirus is not nearly as infected as the mumps or measles virus, there are new UK cases. Someone with stress may be infected with an average of 1.5 times more coronavirus than the previous strain of coronavirus. This means that the virus spreads rapidly. British officials told the WHO that it was probably moving in early September.
WH. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO’s Health Emergency Program, said there was no evidence that the variant would “change the value of vaccines going forward”, but in response to a question from CBS News’ Pamela Falak at a press conference, Ryan said: “It’s being tested, but First, you never know when you might start. “
Van Kerkhov said the new variant found in South Africa has a similar variation for the UK strain, but it is a different type.
Cases of COVID-19 are on the rise in the UK, which reduced the expected relief in safety measures for Christmas. More than 67,700 people in the country have died from the virus, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. In South Africa, 24,691 people have died.
About 77 million people worldwide have been diagnosed with COVID-19 since the onset of the epidemic, and about 1.7 million have died.
