This time from the US… New mutant corona discovered in Ohio

Researchers at Ohio State University’s Baxter Medical Center (WMC) revealed that they discovered a novel variant of the Corona 19 virus that appears to have occurred in the United States in a presentation on the 13th (local time).

“The new mutation had the same change as the British type, but it is likely to have occurred in the virus type already in the United States,” the researchers explained.

The mutation was found in a patient in Ohio. The extent of the spread is still unclear. The researchers also reported an evolutionary pattern with three genetic modifications that were not found in the existing Corona 19 virus. Dr. Dan Jones, who led the study, said: “We have,” he said, “representing considerable evolution.” The mutation found in Ohio is more spreading like the UK, but the vaccine is estimated to be effective for now.

Recently, mutant Corona 19 viruses have been discovered one after another in the world. Countries around the world are restricting entry from the UK and South Africa, where variations are spreading.

The Japanese government announced on the 10th that four people in their teens and 40s who entered the country from Brazil were infected with the mutant corona 19 virus, which has not been confirmed so far.
