We went into a pandemic with the emergence of the corona virus, and we started to return to normal with the emergence of vaccines. Since a lot of time had passed until this point, the virus also found time to mutate, and over time it appeared with different variants. The Delta variant, which we are all familiar with currently, is a cause for concern.
However, the Mu variant, which appeared later, also brought concerns as it came after the Delta variant. The statements of the World Health Organization (WHO) about the resistance of the variant to the vaccine also supported these concerns. Now, we have a development coming from WHO, but this time it is pleasing.
The Delta variant is more dominant than the Mu variant:
One of the WHO’s top names, Dr. In the statements made by Maria Van Kerkhove, it was stated that the Delta variant is much more contagious than the Mu variant. Kerkhove said that in countries where both variants are seen, the Delta variant is much more dominant.
Kerkhove said that the Mu variant has been detected in 50 countries and accounts for about 30 percent of cases in South America. In addition, referring to the dominance of the Delta variant, Kerkhove pointed out that this variant is seen in more than 185 countries, is much more contagious and replaces other viruses.
