COVID-19 is mutating again! A new, and of course more contagious variant that could replace the Delta variant has made its appearance in Russia according to a report on Reuters this morning.
Russia reports cases of more contagious COVID-19 variant - reports
Like we actually need another variant in the world.
According to the report,
It is possible that the AY.4.2 variant will spread widely, RIA quoted the state consumer watchdog's senior researcher Kamil Khafizov as saying.
That could cause the rate of new COVID-19 cases, already at record highs in Russia, to rise even further.
The new variant could even replace Delta eventually, although the process is likely to be slow, he said.
Like we really need more COVID-19!
Hopefully the vaccines will stand up to this new variant. And of course, it is clear that COVID-19 is not going away anytime soon.
