Excerpt:
- The World Health Organization (WHO) says it is monitoring a new coronavirus variant named “mu,” which, according to the agency, has the potential to escape the immunity gained from COVID-19 vaccines or natural infection.
- On August 30, WHO has added the “mu” variant, also known as B.1.621 among scientists, to the global agency’s list of variants “of interest.”
- Compared to the original strain of the virus, the newly detected variant has genetic mutations that can potentially evade natural immunity, current vaccines, or monoclonal antibody therapies.
- However, the WHO cited the need for further studies to prove if the “mu” variant can be more contagious or deadlier with resistance to current treatments and vaccines.
