Scientists have said a Covid-19 variant resistant to the current crop of vaccines is likely to emerge at some point, but immunisations can also be adapted “within weeks”. The vaccines which have so far been rolled out to over half a million people in the UK provide immunity against the new more transmissible variant, but its emergence has raised questions about whether future mutations could conquer immunisations. In mid-December, England’s chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty sai...

Genomic researchers have found the new and more infectious variant of Covid-19 has already spread around the UK, with cases identified in Wales and Scotland. The Covid-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) consortium sampled cases around the UK and found the variant is also in the South West, Midlands and North of England – areas that are under Tier 2 and 3 restrictions. Scientists Professor Lawrence Young and Professor Robert Dingwall explained the new variant is more transmissible because it “sticks”...

"I think obviously there is a concern about this new variant, on the other hand there are also things happening this time of year that naturally interrupt transition. "For what its worth, schools are closed, a lot of workplaces are closed, weve now got people staying at home with enforced isolation - it would be surprising if those things together didnt have quite a significant impact. "We will want to set (this) against the evidence of increased infectiousness in the new variant of the virus."...
