Coronavirus mutation – a new strain has been discovered in France
A new strain of coronavirus has been identified in southern France and has spread to the region. Option identified as B. 1. 640.2 explored the support of the French government, which has not yet been reviewed.
B. 640. 2 were studied by Una origin on 1 chamber and in the south of France
according to the study, the new strain has 46 new mutations as well as 37 deletions. Scientists have named this strain of coronavirus “IHU“.
“The set of mutations and the phylogenetic position of the genomes obtained here indicate on the basis of our preliminary definition of a new variant, which we called” HU “, – said in a statement.
The first case was found in vaccinated patients who returned from trips to Cameroon in mid-November 2021. He was vaccinated 3 days before the trip.
“The day before the production, it was discovered that he developed mild respiratory diseases,” the statement said.
After similar mutations were found in eight parts, among which were children.
It is also noted that this case proves the unpredictability of the coronavirus.
“These are another example of the unpredictability of SARS-CoV-2 variants and their penetration into a given geographical area from abroad,” the researchers said.
What is missing, the security of the new note that it is too early to talk about it, perhaps research will continue.
“Based on these 12 cases, it will be too early to make assumptions about the virological, epidemiological or clinical features of this variant of IHU,” the report said.
