The knowledge that the coronavirus has mutated, that is, changed, has caused concern all over the world. Because the mutated virus is transmitted faster, it causes more people to get sick. The more people become ill, the higher the rate of severe illness and death, and therefore all mutations must be taken seriously.
How is the mutated virus different from the normal Coronavirus? Which mutation is seen in which countries?
The new mutation of Coronavirus is more contagious. Although many mutations have occurred in the virus until now, these mutations have not had a significant effect on the virus. However, the mutation detected in England occurred on the gene encoding the S protein, which allows the virus to enter human cells, and revealed the B117 variant.
There are also South African and Californian mutations. Since the mutated virus is transmitted more easily, more attention should be paid to the measures taken before and mask, distance and hygiene rules should be strictly followed.
