UAE researchers are closely studying the new strains of SARS-CoV-2, which causes Covid-19, and are to be blamed for the surge in the viral outbreak cases globally.
Dr Farida Al Hosani, spokesperson for the UAE’s health sector, said at the routine Covid-19 briefing on March 23 that after regular follow-ups and research on the contagion, the health authorities have found that new mutations of the virus are responsible for the rise in the number of Covid-19 cases across the world, as reported by the World Health Organisation (WHO) recently.
