UK Health Minister Sajid Javid acknowledged that a mutation of the AY4.2 delta coronavirus strain is spreading in the country, but noted that there is no particular reason to consider a new strain today.
“While there is no reason at this point to think AY.4.2 is more dangerous, what about the next option, which might be more dangerous? We must be ready, ”the head of the department said during a press conference on Wednesday, October 20.
We will remind, earlier there was information about the spread in the UK of a new strain of coronavirus. It was noted that we are talking about a more contagious mutation of the delta strain of coronavirus. Some scientists have stated that the mutation is 10-15 percent more infectious than the initial version of the “delta”.
As the website kp.ru wrote, the day before a new strain was recorded in the United States, however, it was noted that today there is no data on the appearance of its clusters or an increase in the number of infected.
