It appeared in hundreds of people in Japan ... Another type of mutation was detected
A new mutation of the corona virus has been detected in Japan. Experts explained that the new breed is different from that in South Africa, Britain and Brazil.
While the corona virus, which emerged in China in December 2019, turned into a worldwide epidemic, vaccination campaigns continue at full speed to end the epidemic.
However, the world public opinion is shaken by the news of mutation every day. The news about a new type of mutation that opened up the effectiveness of vaccines to discussion came from Japan this time.
FOUND IN 394 PEOPLE
According to Japantimes, a new type of mutation was detected in 394 people in the country. It has been announced that the mutation in question is different from the species previously detected in England, South Africa and Brazil. It was stated that the mutation had some similarities with the South African and Brazilian species, and these similarities could increase the risk of transmission and decrease the effectiveness of vaccines.
FOREIGN SOURCES
Tomoya Saito, from the Japan National Institute of Infectious Diseases, stated that the cases originated from abroad, and said that the majority of them occurred in Tokyo. “We don't think this mutation will gain weight, but we will continue to try to understand the situation,” Saito said.
