"WHO": The New Coronavirus Continues to Mutate

The World Health Organization announced that the new coronavirus has adapted to humans, yet it continues to mutate. Milita Voinovich, a representative of the World Health Organization in Russia, stated in an interview with the Russian news agency "Novosti": "The new coronavirus was discovered four years ago and is still spreading. It is clear that the virus has adapted to humans in order to continue existing. Other respiratory pathogens have begun to spread alongside COVID-19 with the onset of winter in Europe and Central Asia. It is important to note that the new coronavirus is still widespread and causing severe infections and deaths." According to her, nearly half of the countries providing hospitalization data to the WHO are experiencing an increase in cases, particularly in Finland, Slovakia, and Italy. She added: "We also observe that this virus continues to mutate and disrupt our lives." It is worth mentioning that Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko had previously announced that the new coronavirus continues to mutate, but its new variants are not characterized by aggression, and while there are some changes in the speed of its spread, they are not severe.
