Utrecht Province The British alternative to the Coronavirus has begun to mutate again. This ‘worrying’ change was first identified in the Netherlands. It relates to someone who has been tested in Utrecht. GGD is currently conducting a search for source and connection. This was reported by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM).
The so-called E484K mutation has been identified in 23 people in the United Kingdom. It can make existing coronavirus vaccines less effective against the virus. The same change has been seen before with the South African and Brazilian variants. It’s also possible that the mutation affects the strength of the virus’s attachment to cells in the body.
