In terms of transmissibility, the fact that there is a large accumulation of mutations is a worrying factor, said George Sourvinos, Professor of Clinical Virology, speaking to SKAI, regarding a new mutated coronary strain, Omicron.
It is recalled that earlier today, for the first time, this executive was identified in Greece, in the professor’s laboratory.
In each case, they have seized it, despite obstacles we can scarcely imagine. “
We have never seen such a strain with so many mutations and especially concentrated in the area of the spike protein.
In any case, there should be data from a larger number of cases and a larger number of hospitalizations in order to have a more accurate picture of the new executive, he summed up.
Information from recent studies, as well as from the ECDC, can not yet be considered sufficient as this requires time and more evaluations.
“As long as we have this persistent infection, the evolving pandemic and the evolving virus with new mutations, no one can predict what the end will be and what the final number of doses we will have to suffer – in the good sense of the word. “In order to protect ourselves and our health,” he stressed.
