In somewhat positive news about the mutated Corona virus, the head of the World Health Organization’s Europe branch announced that the new strain of Corona that has appeared in Britain does not appear to increase the severity of symptoms, but it “worries” the health services sector.
WHO Regional Director for Europe, Hans Kluge, spoke of the “new challenges posed by the mutation of the virus”, adding that the region was on the brink of “a turning point in the course of the pandemic”.
He also confirmed that 22 countries had detected the new “disturbing” strain.
“With the increase in the capacity to spread, and with the same intensity, the (new) strain is sounding the alarm. Without increasing control to slow its spread, the impact will increase on already overburdened health facilities and overloaded, ”he said.
According to the organization’s monitoring table, Europe, which has been severely affected by the epidemic, has recorded more than 27.6 million infections and 603,000 deaths from the emerging virus.
