Highly mutated COVID variant found in new countries but pandemic in 'a different phase’
reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/highly-mutated-covid-variant-found-new-countries-pandemic-a-different-phase-2023-08-24/
Quick Glance: New Countries Affected by Highly Mutated COVID Variant, Pandemic Enters 'New Phase'
- The highly mutated COVID variant BA.2.86 has now been detected in Switzerland and South Africa, in addition to Israel, Denmark, the U.S., and the U.K.
- According to a group of scientists from around the world, while it is important to monitor BA.2.86, it is unlikely to cause a devastating wave of severe disease and death due to global immune defenses from vaccination and prior infection.
- As of August 23, nine such cases have been detected, and the variant was also found in wastewater in Switzerland.
- Current tests and medications appear to remain effective against BA.2.86, although the variant may be more infectious for vaccinated individuals and those who have had COVID before, according to the assessment.
