Covid-19 Virus Mutations from England Arrived in France, Horrified!

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – A French man who recently arrived from London tested positive for the new variant of the coronavirus (Covid-19). This was disclosed by the French Ministry of Health in a statement.

Quoting Reuters, Saturday (26/12/2020), the authorities said that the first case of the new corona variant was found in the City of Tours. The man in question arrived from London on 19 December and is currently in good condition in independent isolation.

For information, a study calls the new type of mutated corona in the UK, VUI-202012/01, more contagious. This could lead to higher hospitalization and death rates in 2021.

Launching a study by the Center for Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, this variant is 56% more contagious than other types. Bloomberg and Medicalxpress also write this point.

“The researchers, who are focused on southeastern, eastern England and London, say it is still uncertain whether the mutated strain is more or less lethal than its predecessor,” the study wrote.

“Nevertheless, the increase in transmission is likely to lead to a large increase in incidence, with COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths projected to reach higher levels in 2021 than those observed in 2020.”

Researchers also warned the British government that their November lockdown was ineffective. Except, elementary schools and universities are also closed.

“Any easing of control measures, meanwhile, is likely to prompt a ‘massive viral resurgence’,” the researcher wrote again.

“This means that” it may be necessary to speed up vaccine rollout to have a significant impact on reducing the resulting disease burden “.
