A more transmissible strain of coronavirus linked to an explosion of infections in the Amazonian city of Manaus is believed to be spreading throughout Brazil, where it could become the main variant, according to scientists.
Researchers revealed last month they had detected the P. 1 lineage of Sars-Cov-2 in the remote rainforest municipality, where oxygen supplies recently ran out as the health system has been hammered by a surge in Covid-19 cases. The variant has also been registered in São Paulo, as well as in several other countries.
