The Virus Is Getting Stronger

University of Sheffield – July 2, 200 -- New, more infectious strain of Covid-19 now dominates global cases of virus

• Researchers tracking the spread of Covid-19 around the world have discovered that viruses with a new variant have now overtaken the original strain
• Analysis of the virus’s genome sequence found a mutation called ‘D614G’ made the virus more infectious than the original strain, but did not cause more severe disease
• The global research team, including scientists from the University of Sheffield, had previously noted the rapidly increasing prevalence of viruses with D614G throughout the world
