A new version of the Coronacterius is discovered after Delta

The new varieties of coronarys are making the outcome of pandemic difficult. Of course, the Delta mutation is actually the one that worries the most, but the situation can change very quickly.

South African scientists have discovered a new type of coronavirus with multiple mutations, even though they have not yet confirmed whether it is more contagious than current or more capable of overcoming natural immunity or those provided by vaccines.

Known as C.1.2., it was first discovered in May. Research has shown that it has spread to most South African provinces, in addition to seven other countries in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Ocean.

Scientists are not yet sure of his behavior, but it contains many mutations linked to other variants with increased broadcasters and reduced sensitivity to neutral antibodies.

Richard Leswells, an infectious disease specialist and one of the authors of research for C.1.2, says the discovery is a clear sign that “this pandemic is not over and that this virus is still exploring ways to infect us”.

However, he demanded that people not be alarmed, since different species were expected to appear. On South Africa's territory, C.1.2 represented 3% of samples in July, compared to 1% in June, while Delta represented 67% in June and 89% in July. / A2 CNN
