Tunisia-Coronavirus: UK variant is most spread nationwide

The UK variant of coronavirus is the most spread in the country, Amen Allah Messadi, member of the Scientific Committee to Combat Coronavirus said on Thursday.

The committee’s decision to remain in session since last Monday aims at assessing the danger of the crisis and submitting adequate proposals to the National Authority to limit the fallout from the pandemic.

Messadi reminded in a statement to TAP of the speed with which UK variant spreads, warning against its dangers whatever the age or health of the person.

The UK variant causes a rapid deterioration of health, he noted, stressing the imperative to protect oneself from the danger of the South Africa and Brazil variants in case they enter the country.

Cases of infection with the coronavirus for the second time have also been recorded, the same source said, adding that the period of immunity acquired by people recovering from the virus varies between 4 and 6 months.

The accelerated increase in the number of infections may lead to a deterioration of the health situation, recalling that the health system is currently operating with means exceeding its capacity and cannot resist any longer, he warned.
