All you need to know about the new ‘highly transmissible’ Covid variant C.1.2

A new Covid variant has been recently detected by scientists in South Africa and some other countries. According to experts, the variant called C.1.2 can potentially be more transmissible, compared to the previously found variants.

a variant of interest is one with “specific genetic markers that have been associated with “changes to receptor binding, reduced neutralisation by antibodies generated against previous infection or vaccination, reduced efficacy of treatments, potential diagnostic impact, or predicted increase in transmissibility or disease severity”.
