As regards the virus mutation, WHO says the SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern has been detected in 22 countries in the region.

“This variant is ‘of concern’ as it has increased transmissibility. So far, we understand there is no significant change to the disease this variant produces, meaning the COVID-19 is not more, nor less, severe,” he said.

The variant spreads across all age groups, and children do not appear to be at higher risk.

“It is our assessment that this variant of concern may, over time, replace other circulating lineages – as seen in the United Kingdom, and increasingly in Denmark.”
