The new coronavirus version discovered in Britain with a higher transmission rate is not yet out of control and can be contained using existing measures, the World Health Organization said on Monday.
“We have had a much higher (contamination rate) at various points in this event and we have got it under control,” WHO’s emergencies chief Michael Ryan told a media conference.
“So this situation isn’t in that sense out of control. But it can’t be left to its own devices.”
British Health Secretary Matt Hancock had earlier claimed the new version was”out of control”, with British officials saying it was 70 percent more transmissible than the main strain.
“The steps we currently have in place are the correct measures,” Ryan said.
“We need to do what we have been doing, we might just have to get it done with a bit more intensity and for a little longer to make sure we can bring this virus in check.”
Roughly 30 countries shut their borders to people travelling from Britain or South Africa — where the next variant has emerged — to prevent any further spread.
“In some senses, it means we have to work harder,” Ryan said. “Even though the virus has become a little bit more efficient in spreading, the virus could be stopped.”
