Genomic epidemiologist Gytis Duda says this variant is considered one of the three virus variants of concern as it posed a higher risk of re-infection or after vaccination.
Based on the initial data available to the National Public Health Center, the infected person travelled abroad, therefore, it is likely that the Brazilian variant is currently not spreading in Lithuania.
