Apart from D614G, there has been a mutation of the Corona virus Q677H in Surabaya

To find out how spread the Corona Q677H virus mutation is, more extensive research is needed.

“We have to see the sequencing, how many mutations of the Q677H virus or how many mutations of D614G. We can learn how the speed of transmission is, whether it is transmitted quickly or not. Whether the patient’s condition becomes too severe and so on,” continued Pratiwi.

“But as long as it is still sporadic like this, we have only detected mutations. But we have not been able to prove whether these mutations will cause drastic or extremely dangerous changes in the character of the virus itself.”

Furthermore, Pratiwi emphasized, at this time it could not be concluded regarding how potential the spread of the Q677H Corona virus mutation was.

“If you convey (the mutation) of the virus in Surabaya is different, it is true that the virus is different. Does this difference cause clear differences in the spread or causes of higher mortality rates and so on,” he said.

“Well, it is still inconclusive. So, I think I have to be more careful to interpret it (the mutation of the new Corona virus).”
