The variants of coronavirus do not stop growing, and scientists warn that this may be a handicap for the good progress of vaccination. Now in Vietnam a new variant of coronavirus has emerged, the Vietnamese strain. It seems to be somewhat more contagious and is being studied to see its effects.This new variant could be a hybrid between the Indian and British strain, therefore more contagious when knowing the origins of the variant, although sources in Vietnam have highlighted that it is of the Indian variant with mutations that originally belong to the British variant. This strain represents a rebound in the Asian country that has controlled COVID-19 quite well, unlike other European or South American countries. At the moment this strain is under study for know how it can evolve, but it is known that it could be more dangerous, and more transmissible, especially in the air; so it infects more and more people. As we have pointed out, scientists fear that these variants are not effective against the vaccines we have at the moment. The new Vietnamese strain appeared when investigating the sequence of the virus genome in some new infected in Indochina. Although the total number of people who may have been infected with this variant is not known, it could affect over 50% of those currently infected.As a consequence of all this, there are again restrictions in the country such as the limitation of meetings to 10 people and the population is again semi confined. In addition, no one can leave or enter the country with certain exceptions.At the moment it is a controlled variant, because it has not been seen in another country, but in the same way as the British and the Indian ones, we see how such new strains spread quickly to other countries and reach Europe where there are many cases of the variant. India in the United Kingdom and other countries. Stopping the spread of these variants is the trick to curbing the disease, but it is not an easy task. What is important is that knowing its existence immediately gives information about it. For the moment, the WHO is not going to include this new variant in the list of dangerous because it is waiting for more information about it.
