Coronavirus – Mutation: Concern in Greece about “orphan” cases
The cases of the mutated coronavirus in Greece are 30, of which 3 are “orphan”
A thorough screening of suspected cases of coronavirus mutation is being carried out in the laboratories of the Institute for Biological Research of the Academy of Athens, as scientists are particularly concerned about the new coronavirus mutation that is rapidly spreading, especially in Great Britain. It is noted that so far the cases of the mutated coronavirus in our country are 30, of which 3 are orphans.
The question now is how this mutant strain of the virus is spreading. According to the report of Open TV, among the samples examined are close contacts but also relatives of the three “orphan” cases with the coronavirus strain of Great Britain that have been found in the country (2 in Attica and 1 in Crete).
This test will show if there are other cases with the coronavirus mutation that have not yet been identified. Scientists are worried about the new, even more contagious mutation of the coronavirus and note that in combination with the opening of retail stores and schools, they may lead to November images regarding the National Health System and the ICU.
For this reason, an extraordinary meeting of experts was held on Friday, January 22, at the Ministry of Health. According to Open, 5% to 10% of positive cases in our country will be examined in a special way to better control the coronavirus mutation. The results of these special tests need to wait 3 to 4 days.
