What we know so far: How dangerous is the new COVID-19 strain?


As health authorities around the world start administering the first COVID-19 shots, a “new strain” of the SARS-CoV-2 has emerged. It has been dubbed as more infectious , according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The British media described the new variant of SARS-CoV-2, first detected in Kent in September, as one that “appears to spread more quickly”. This has sparked fears that COVID-19 cases may spike, further accelerating the pandemic.

Over the past nine days, more than 100 000 new Covid cases have been confirmed, with more than 200 people now dying every day.
While it is not expected that the new variant is causing more severe symptoms, De Oliveira says he won’t be surprised if the virus is found to be between 40% and 70% more transmissible than the original virus strain (in line with the UK’s 501Y variant). This means that you are much likelier to contract the virus when exposed to it. ....
