French authorities are warning that a new variant of the COVID-19 virus has emerged in the northwestern region of Brittany. The virus also, allegedly, escapes detections done by standard PCR tests and is currently under the ‘variant under investigation’ category by WHO. Despite this, it does not suggest increased severity or transmissibility of the virus.
WHO has placed it as ‘variant under investigation’ due to its bypassing of PCR tests, along with most of thousands of variants that naturally occur. Of all these variants, WHO claim, only a small proportion will pose direct threats to health problems. The other category of ‘variant of concern’ is the category health authorities are most concerned about and consists of variants found in Brazil, UK and South Africa.
