海外ネットワーク, February 2 According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on the 2nd, British scientists said that the new coronavirus variant that is currently spreading throughout the UK has once again caused a worrying mutation.

報告によると, British scientists found after analysis that some samples had a mutation called E484K, which had previously appeared in variant viruses found in South Africa and Brazil. Experts from the Public Health Agency of England said that only some samples of the new coronavirus variants discovered in the UK have such mutations, which does not mean that the mutations are widespread, and the current vaccines should still be effective.

In order to control the spread of the mutant virus in the UK, large-scale new crown tests have been started in many parts of England, and the British government has also introduced corresponding travel restrictions. Julian Tang, a virus expert at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom, said that the public must abide by the anti-epidemic lockdown regulations and reduce the increase in confirmed cases to prevent further mutation of the new coronavirus.
