 The organization said, The reason for our special interest in this new strain is that it contains several groups of changes, and the initial signs indicate that (the variable virus) may be more able to spread easily among people, and the World Health Organization advises that more viral studies be conducted to understand the specific changes.  Described by the UK.

In our turn, we will introduce the member states and the general public when we have the information and a clearer picture of the characteristics of this strain is formed.

 What we emphasize is that we in the World Health Organization rely on studies and take scientific evidence to know what the impact of this changing virus is, and in the meantime, we advise everyone to fully adhere to the preventive measures and public health measures from Corona and to comply with the guidelines
