SunstarTV Bureau: An unknown variant of coronavirus has been found which is growing rapidly in some parts of England, British MPs are the first hand sufferers.

Health Secretary, Matt Hancock said at least 60 different local authorities has recorded Covid infections caused by the new variant so far, the BBC reported on Monday.

He said the World Health Organization (WHO) had been notified and UK scientists were doing detailed studies. He said there was ‘nothing to suggest’ it may cause worse disease or that vaccines would no longer work.

He told MPs in the House of Commons that over the last week, there had been sharp, exponential rises in coronavirus infections across London, Kent, parts of Essex and Hertfordshire.

“We’ve currently identified over 1,000 cases with this variant predominantly in the South of England although cases have been identified in nearly 60 different local authority areas”  Matt further added.

“We do not know the extent to which this is because of the new variant but no matter its cause we have to take swift and decisive action which unfortunately is absolutely essential to control this deadly disease while the vaccine is rolled out.”

England’s Chief Medical Officer Prof Chris Whitty said current coronavirus swab tests would detect the new variant that has been found predominantly in Kent and neighbouring areas in recent weeks.

The changes or mutations involve the spike protein of the virus – the part that helps it infect cells, and the target Covid vaccines are designed around.

It is too soon to know exactly what this will do to the behaviour of the virus.

Prof Alan McNally, an expert at the University of Birmingham, told the BBC, “Let’s not be hysterical. It doesn’t mean it’s more transmissible or more infectious or dangerous.”
