Our fight against the coronavirus epidemic, which has been in our lives since 2019, does not end. Although vaccines have been found to partially prevent the disease, the fact that the spread cannot be stopped causes the epidemic to cost the lives of the unvaccinated, especially. Moreover, the new variant called omicron, which appeared a while ago, put things in a deadlock even more. Because the high rate of transmission has brought restrictions to the agenda in many countries.
While the world could not get rid of the effect of the omicron variant, another frightening development took place. As a result of the tests performed on a person who went to Cameroon for travel and then returned to France, it was announced that an unprecedented mutation of the coronavirus was found. According to the statements made by French experts, the new mutation is similar to the B. 1.640 coded (VUM) mutation on the World Health Organization’s watch list, and this virus is a 46-point mutated version of the original coronavirus. . .
Nothing clear can be said about the new mutation.
Experts conducted a study in the southern regions of France after the detection of the first case. As a result of the researches, it was determined that 11 more people had the same mutated virus. However, experts state that they do not have enough data at the moment, so it would not be correct to say anything about the mutation. However, the new mutation is currently under follow-up.
Some statements were also made about the first case detected in France. It was stated that the patient was vaccinated and was admitted to the hospital due to mild respiratory distress before the diagnosis. It is currently unknown whether the new mutation is caused by the vaccine, showing mild symptoms or weak.
