Over the past seven days, the so-called “British” strain of coronavirus has been identified in five more countries. Thus, the total number of states whose citizens have become infected with a mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus identified in England has increased to 137 since April 13, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported on Tuesday, April 20.
We will remind, on Monday, the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova said that new strains of coronavirus are being formed in Russia, not similar to the options described abroad. By the way, the first domestic PCR test has appeared, which detects exactly the British variety of “covid”.
Earlier, on the air of the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, Anna Popova said that domestic vaccines and test systems successfully cope with virus mutations.
Meanwhile, as the website kp.ru wrote, the discovery of new, previously unknown strains of COVID-19 is reported from time to time by experts from different countries.
