The US authorities confirmed the registration of the new AY.4.2 strain of Corona virus in the United States
The American authorities confirmed the registration of the new AY.4.2 strain of the Corona virus in the United States, adding that they had no information about the emergence of foci or the increase in the number of infected people.
In a press briefing Wednesday, Rochelle Valinsky, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the center records "from time to time" the spread of this new strain, which was recently discovered in Britain, but she indicated that there is no data to indicate that this strain undermines the effectiveness of the vaccine or drugs used.
And she confirmed that the main mutator circulating in the United States of the emerging Corona virus is the “delta” mutant, explaining that 99.7 percent of “Covid-19” patients are infected with it.
Earlier, British scientists announced the spread of a new, more lethal version of the "Delta" mutant in the country, noting that AY.4.2 may become 10-15% more dangerous than the "Delta" strain.
Scientists from the Singer Institute in Cambridge and the Genetics Institute in London indicated that the new mutant, which was recently detected in Britain, may be a reason for the growing number of infections in the Kingdom, knowing that the proportion of people infected with it in the total number of injuries recorded in the country so far has reached 10% and is still in the process of rising.
