    In August 2020, scientists discovered a variant strain of the new coronavirus C.


    The "lamda" variant spread quickly after it was first discovered in Peru


    According to a report by the British “Daily Mail” on July 6, after Australia became the latest country to discover “lambda”, this strain has spread to 31 countries.


    The "lamda" variant is being monitored because it carries some mutations that may enhance its ability to spread


    According to the WHO, some of these mutations may increase the ability of the virus to infect or reduce the ability of certain antibodies to neutralize the virus


    However, Public Health England stated that these effects are only theoretical, and there is currently no evidence that this variant will cause more serious diseases or reduce the effectiveness of the currently used vaccines.
