A new version of the new Corona virus appeared in Britain, with more than a thousand people infected so far, which worried scientists and confused their accounts, prompting the British authorities to notify the World Health Organization of its appearance.
British scientists began to conduct detailed research and studies on the reasons for the emergence of this mutation, as Ravi Gupta, professor of microbiology at the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Diseases, says: “We have to move against this mutation because we do not know how it could develop in the long term and therefore should not We allow it, ”it is unlikely that it will infect a large number of people, but at the same time it may be difficult to control.
In turn, expert Professor Alan McNally from the University of Birmingham said in a statement to the BBC: “Let us not be hysterical. This does not mean that it is more transmissible or more contagious or dangerous. It is important to remain rational because this is related to the natural evolution of the virus and we expect the emergence of new variables. With the passage of time".
This is not the first time that scientists have discovered mutations of the virus, as the Danish government announced the discovery of a mutation in the emerging corona virus at the beginning of last November.
