There has been a remarkable development regarding the coronavirus pandemic, which has regressed to the second place on the agenda due to the Russia-Ukraine war.

According to the investigations, this virus is a variant with 76 mutations. It has been announced that 23 of the mutations have been previously detected in different living things.
17 deer tested positive for coronavirus
Within the scope of studies in Canada, hundreds of deer were tested for coronavirus. As a result of the tests, the virus was detected in 17 deer.
