A new variant of coronavirus infection was found in the Brittany region in northwestern France. This is reported by the website of the French Ministry of Health.
According to the department, this type of infection was not easy to identify, since the patients in whom it was detected “had symptoms typical of SARS-CoV-2,” but PCR tests gave a negative result.
A new variant of the coronavirus was identified in a hospital center in the commune of Lannion in the department of Côte d’Armor. On March 13, 79 cases of COVID-19 were reported in the region, eight of them were a new variant, which helped establish sequencing. Scientists are currently studying a new variant of the coronavirus and are trying to figure out how it responds to vaccinations and antibodies produced during previous infections.
