This was announced after 30 Corleone-infected samples were sent for research in Berlin on January 18th.
While microbiologist Lul Raka has indicated that COVID-19's new version has been present in Kosovo since 5 January.
He has said there may be more than three cases infected with this option in the country.
We currently have the first cases infected in Kosovo. These positive samples have been positive on January 5th. The infection of these people occurred early in the year. There is concern all over the world because of variations, but we need to remember that genetic changes are normal for viruses. Coronavirus is aronavirus, and mutations always occur”, he said.
As for the severity of the virus, Raka has said that initial data has shown that there is no great difference, but last week at a British Prime Minister's press conference, it has been given evidence that the virus may have greater severity.
He has indicated that the greatest concern is that these variants spread more easily, so even a greater number of citizens can be infected.
Even if the severity is greater, the problem is that the variants are different, we've seen Britain's, then that South Africa that spreads even faster, while we have the Brazilian one. The biggest concern is that if these variants have easier spread, that means a greater number of people will be infected”, he added.
