– It is clear that it worries us, says Høie to NTB.
The Indian virus variant has now begun to spread in the UK, and the British health authorities expect that it will eventually gain the upper hand and become dominant.
If it happens in the UK, we must also expect it to happen in other countries, warns Høie, who says Norway is now following the new variant very closely.
According to Høie, it is not unlikely that the Indian variety will be dominant in the UK during June. It is more contagious than the British variety, which today dominates in Norway.
But the vaccines also seem to work against the Indian variant, Høie emphasizes.
