In the UK, a new strain of SARS-CoV-2 caused by a mutation is more contagious, but generally does not change the risk level of the disease.The World Health Organization (WHO) spokesman for the global fight against COVID-19, David Nabarro, told Sky News:
"It's more contagious, but it doesn't seem to be more dangerous."According to Nabarro, due to the new tensions, no radical changes are planned in the priorities and ways of combating the epidemic.Nevertheless, he urged people to be careful.
