Short variant thread ⬇️
We expect that more variants will continue to be detected as the virus circulates and evolves and as sequencing capacities are enhanced worldwide.
It’s even more critical we drive down and keep down transmission. @WHO #COVID19

As we have said, each variant identified needs to be properly assessed, which is why WHO established the Virus Evolution Working Group in June 2020, and why there is a Global Monitoring and Assessment Framework for #SARSCoV2 variants, coordinated by @WHO.
Re the report of variant from Vietnam: @WHO 🇻🇳 country office & @WHOWPRO are working w MOH 🇻🇳. The variant detected is B.1.617.2 with an additional mutation(s), but more info soon.
Remember: variants are constellations of mutations. Many VOI/VOC have similar mutations

We will continue to update on all VOC/VOI through our weekly Epi Situation Report & @WHO continues to work with country, regional and technical partners around the world to better understand more about any & all variants detected.

Public health and social measures can reduce the spread of #SARSCoV2
Vietnam has extensive experience with infectious disease outbreaks and has a strong public health infrastructure.
