Dr. Henry says this mutation has been found in the UK and is not yet it's own variant of concern. #bcpoli
Henry - "What we are looking is whether these variants are spreading more quickly or are making people sicker."
Henry - "Our best defense continues to be vaccination." #bcpoli
Dr. Henry - "Right now it is about watch and waiting. We are re-looking at what are the things we need to do, all of us, to get through this." #bcpoli
Henry says the strategies need to be the same. Says the virus spreads more easily indoors, reminds people to stay home when they are sick. #bcpoli
