Brazilian power can not take control of the situation with the spread of coronavirus, so the country has become an “ideal laboratory” to bring new strains of infection, said Professor of the Medical Faculty of the University of Sao Paulo Domingo Alves.
“We had a” perfect storm “, because there is no sanitary control along with a high level of infection,” said Brazilian scientist, Transfer Vesti.ru
Commenting on the information that a week ago, the Institute Butanhan (Biomedical Research Center in Sao Paulo) found in Brazil three new strains of the SARS-COV-2 virus, including South African and Amazonian options, Alves noted that the list of new strains is “only the pinnacle of iceberg” – they should be much more.
The scientist drew attention to the special danger of the Amazonian strain, which was first discovered in the city of Manaus. “An option from Manaus spread across the country, because no one controls anything,” the specialist stated, adding that the identification of new strains is sporadic, and this may lead to the “worst development of events”.
In addition, according to Professor, new strains may appear during the vaccination of the population.
