The agency is closely monitoring everything that happens with this new variant and also thanked the United Kingdom for providing all the information on this new strain of coronavirus.
This Tuesday, December 22, 2020, the World Health Organization will convene a meeting of its member states, to develop new strategies in the face of the “new variant” of Covid-19 discovered in the United Kingdom.
The announcement of this emergent meeting of the WHO was given by the European head of the organization, Hans Kluge, who also commented that the organization is “closely monitoring” all the reports of this new variant.
Several experts believe that this strain “spreads more easily.” However, it has not yet been possible to determine whether this new strain also increases the lethality of the virus. From the WHO they support the new restriction measures that several countries and the United Kingdom have established, in the face of this new variant.
For its part, the United Kingdom has provided all the information on this new variant to the authorities and has also strengthened its investigations and controls. The world begins another new confinement, to prevent a repeat of what happened at the beginning of this 2020, with the Covid-19.
