According to the BBC report on February 2, British scientists said that COVID-19 variant, which is currently spreading all over the UK, has undergone another worrying mutation.

According to the report, after analysis by British scientists, a mutation named E484K was found in some samples, which had been found in the variant viruses in South Africa and Brazil before. Experts from England's public health agency said that at present, only some samples of COVID-19 found in the UK have such mutations, which does not mean that the mutations have been widespread, and the vaccines currently used should still be effective.

In order to control the spread of the mutant virus in the UK, large-scale detection of COVID-19 has been started in many parts of England. The British government has also introduced corresponding travel restrictions. Julian Tang, a virologist at the University of Leicester in the UK, said the public must abide by the anti epidemic blockade and reduce the increase of confirmed cases in order to prevent further mutation of the new coronavirus.
