There is a group of 73 infected between doctors and patients at the Garmisch-Partenkirchen clinic, where there would be a possible variant of coronavirus.
The German authorities confirmed that their main virologists are investigating a new variant of Covid-19 that has emerged in that country. The cases that are being analyzed correspond to some health workers.
The possible origin of this new variant was registered by an increase in cases in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen clinic, where 73 infections between doctors and patients were confirmed. Researchers have not yet determined whether this new variant means an increased risk.
For its part, the German government called its citizens to calm down and asked to be alert to the spread of the British variant that is already circulating in the country.
German Health Minister Jens Spahn commented that it is important to stop this new variant, because it appears to be more infectious.
“It seems that they do not affect the severity of the disease. But they infect many more people. That means more hospitalized and higher ICU occupancy, ”confirmed Spahn.
The government is analyzing tightening the biosecurity measures previously ordered and even implementing a new night curfew.
