DOH: No evidence new virus strain from UK makes COVID more severe

By LLANESCA T. PANTI, GMA News Published December 23, 2020 1:08pm There is no evidence yet that the new variant found in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland of the virus that causes COVID-19 increases the disease s severity, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said Wednesday. Duque was referring to SARS-CoV-2 VUI 202012/01 (Variant Under Investigation, year 2020, month 12, variant 01), which already prompted the Inter-Agency Task Force headed by him to ban travelers from the United Kingdom from entering the Philippines from December 24 to 31. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes the coronavirus disease 2019. “So far, this (SARS-CoV-2 VUI 202012/01) increases [COVID-19] transmission [rate] by 0.4 percent but there is no evidence yet showing that this can increase severity or virulence [of COVID-19] nor affect the efficacy of the anti-COVID-19 vaccine,” Duque said.

Researchers to study more recent samples to check if new COVID-19 strain now in PH

endIndex: Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 23) Health Secretary Francisco Duque III on Wednesday said the new variant of COVID-19 found in the United Kingdom feared to be more rapidly transmissible has not yet reached the Philippines. He stressed, however, that this is based on the samples collected in the country in September and October. Researchers from the Philippine Genome Center on Tuesday reported that it analyzed 65 samples from populous Metro Manila and “found practically no overlapping spike protein mutations” between the new SARS-COV-2 variant found in England and the mutated COVID-19 strain found in the Philippines in June. It said that data suggested that the D614G variant of the virus that is prevalent in the Philippines is “not closely related with the UK variant.”
