Danish National Serum Research Institute “33 people, socially infected by mutation from UK”
The influx of mutant virus may disrupt medical systems in each country
Need to prepare for large-scale patients and comply with national personal hygiene

With the corona 19 mutant virus from the UK being reported one after another in each country, the first infection was confirmed in the US.

People with no travel history, experts believe that the mutant virus is spreading to other countries beyond the UK.

It is pointed out that the expansion of medical facilities is urgent because there are more patients.

However, it is already out of control.

The mutant virus has crossed over to the UK and has penetrated the quarantine network.

Denmark, where all 33 people infected with the mutant virus were reported as local cases, and the United States, where rural residents with no travel history were confirmed as the first infections are representative.

Biden’s advisory committee officially stated that the first case of mutant infection in the United States was a community infection.

The CDC of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States diagnosed that there is a high possibility that a mutant virus was introduced through travel, and that the spread of the virus to the local community is progressing.

As evidenced by a study conducted by UK health authorities, mutant viruses are characterized by rapid transmission.

If you intervene in each country’s struggling situation, you can quickly increase the number of confirmed cases and touch high-risk groups to increase the mortality rate.

With the current medical system, which is on the verge of collapse, it can be difficult to use.

Mutated infected persons are quarantined in the same way as corona19 confirmed patients and receive the same treatment for each symptom.

Therefore, the best way to prevent the spread of the mutant virus is for the government to prepare for a large-scale patient outbreak and for the public to do personal hygiene.

When the spreading trend begins, national quarantine guidelines and containment measures will inevitably be strengthened.
