The strength of the symptoms of some hospitalization had led to suspect the presence of a more insidious mutation. At the moment it does not appear, the surveillance remains vigilant and the sequencing continues at very high rates throughout the territory and with an incessant system of work.

For now, therefore, there is no alarm. Furthermore, it will be necessary to see what the actual weight of the new variant will be and how, eventually, it will interact with vaccines.
