More than 10 countries found a variant of COVID-19 COVID-19 and added another member of "Ramda virus strain"

How should people deal with the situation where the Lambda strain is blocking the way and the Delta strain is catching up? It is reported that the Lambda variant was first discovered in Peru and has now spread to dozens of countries, with particularly high transmission rates in South American countries. It now accounts for about 81% of new cases in Peru and about one-third of new cases in neighboring Chile.

COVID-19 added a new general Ramda virus strain

Ramda is a 2019 novel coronavirus variant, which was first found in Peru. On June 14, 2021, the World Health Organization released a report that labeled the C.37 strain, which was first discovered in Peru, with the Greek letters' lambda '; Named (Lambda) and listed as one of the mutated viruses to be aware of.

Although the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 infected with Ramda virus strain in the United States is much less than the number of cases infected with Delta mutant virus strain, some infectious disease experts said that Ramda virus strain is also a mutant strain they are closely watching. Expert Marani from the Infectious Diseases Society of America stated that it is currently difficult to determine the infectivity of this strain. On June 14th of this year, the World Health Organization released a report that labeled the C.37 strain, which was first discovered in Peru, with the Greek letters' lambda '; Named (Lambda) and listed as one of the mutated viruses to be aware of. According to the standards of the World Health Organization, if the spread of a mutated virus that requires attention accelerates further and becomes severe enough to require adjustments to existing prevention measures, it will be upgraded to a mutated virus that requires attention. The SEP report states that there are several genetic mutations in the spike protein of the Lambda strain, which may have higher infectivity and stronger resistance to neutralizing antibodies. However, the evidence currently available is insufficient to confirm the full impact of these mutations. Further research is needed to determine the necessary countermeasures for this strain.

The discovery of COVID-19 (NCV), a new fighter Ramda virus strain Ramda virus strain. After

August 2020, scientists found a COVID-19 mutant strain C.37 in Peru for the first time, and the World Health Organization (WHO) named it Ramda.

After April 2021, the detection rate of Ramda among the newly infected people of COVID-19 will be 80%. On June 14, 2021, the World Health Organization released a report labeling the C.37 strain, which was first discovered in Peru, with the Greek letters' lambda '; Named (Lambda) and listed as one of the mutated viruses to be aware of. According to the standards of the World Health Organization, if the spread of a mutated virus that requires attention accelerates further and becomes severe enough to require adjustments to existing prevention measures, it will be upgraded to a mutated virus that requires attention. On June 23, 2021, Public Health UK described Lambda as a variant under investigation. In July 2021, according to the World Health Organization, the Lambda variant has been found in 29 countries, which contains many mutations that can increase infectivity and risk. On July 7, 2021, Swedish media reported that the Lambda variant has been included in the list of variant strains monitored by the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention. On July 6, 2021, according to the Daily Mail, after Australia became the latest country to discover Lambda, this strain has spread to 31 countries, with particularly high transmission rates in South American countries. It now accounts for about 81% of new cases in Peru and about one-third of new cases in neighboring Chile.

With the global spread of the epidemic, Lambda has been discovered in multiple countries. There are currently 1060 cases of Lambda in the United States; Japan has also confirmed its first case of Lambda, and Japanese experts warn that Lambda and Delta may coexist and spread in Japan. On August 9th, Japan reported its first case of infection with the mutated strain of Lambda virus. Japanese experts believe that it is currently unknown whether existing vaccines are effective against the Lambda variant. In the future, this variant may coexist with the Delta variant in Japan and continue to spread. On July 20th, a woman in her 30s who arrived at Tokyo Haneda Airport was found to be infected with the Lambda variant, despite having traveled to Peru. The National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Japan pointed out that the Lambda variant was first discovered in Peru in August 2020 and has a very high mortality rate. In April and May of this year, Peru experienced a situation where the daily death toll reached 1200 and the daily increase reached 20000. How do people deal with the Lambda strain?

The hope of defeating COVID-19 and variant strains lies in mass vaccination. In addition, wearing masks and maintaining social distancing are still necessary measures. We cannot allow the virus to spread uncontrollably among the population in order to reduce the incidence of genetic mutations.

The above is about the details of COVID-19's newly added Ramda virus strain. I hope it can help you.
