The epidemic continues today, and more surprises are on the way as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread around the world. Although COVID-19 vaccines are being produced at full capacity, countries are facing great pressure due to the development trend of COVID-19 epidemic. One of the factors is a novel Coronavirus that discovers a mutation.
A new variant of the COVID-19 virus is now spreading rapidly in England, according to UK government officials. And this mutated new virus has increased its transmission rate by 70 percent. Although the current virus does not appear to be more lethal than it is.
However, in order to stop the spread of the virus, countries have taken measures such as closing their borders to stop the spread of the mutated COVID-19 virus. After all, it is already winter, and the pressure on countries to prevent and control the spread of the virus has also risen to a level. For all countries, the outbreak is not over yet, but they must not let down their guard.

British mutation of the virus caused many concerns, Zhong Nanshan spoke at this point
The current data show that the mutated COVID-19 virus is already circulating in the UK, and it is feared that the outbreak in the UK will continue for some time to come. Worst of all, Sweden and Spain have also reported cases of the mutated COVID-19 virus, which means that Europe is on the verge of losing ground.
Under such severe circumstances, what most people are most concerned about is what attitude and measures China should take in the face of the mutated COVID-19 virus. Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, also gave a timely and professional opinion on this issue.
Zhong said the mutated virus was discovered last September, but not after the vaccine had been completed. There was also no further evidence that the mutation, which has increased transmission rates by 70 per cent in the UK, had any impact on the vaccine’s effectiveness. Next, in addition to guarding and controlling the dyke, we also need to get Chinese people vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible.

China has not found the mutated virus into the situation, but the situation is not optimistic
Feng Zijian, deputy director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview that the virus sequences obtained in China so far show that no mutation of the virus has been found in the viruses obtained from various sources, including imported people, goods and cold-chain products.

However, the situation remains grim. The Chinese CDC, while closely monitoring the spread of the mutated virus in the UK and Europe, and even around the world, is further reviewing existing prevention and control measures.
