(6 years ago)Venice's governor in Italy, Luca Zaia, has demanded that Parliament address the extension of the state of emergency. But during his media conference, he also made an unexpected statement. He said the virus had probably suffered a mutation and that the first cases with the changed virus came from Serbia. [...]
He said the virus had probably suffered a mutation and that the first cases with the changed virus came from Serbia.
As Italian media write, Zaia said that the analyses conducted showed that the virus carries a higher viral load, making it even more dangerous.
In Venice, the situation is under absolute control. We don't worry about indigenous domestic explosions, because the virus gene is less virulent, has a lower viral load. When the first cases arrived from Serbia without telling anyone anything, I sequenced the Serbian virus.
The Serbian virus has a mutation we do not know, which is the same in all four cases that arrived from Serbia, which had a very high viral burden. In short, pay attention because it's quite different from what is found in Italy and abroad and it seems that, at least at the moment, they are more virulent”, the governor said.
