Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead for COVID-19, said while early research indicated the B.1.617 variant has an increased transmission rate there was no evidence that vaccines don’t work against it. “We don’t have anything to suggest that our diagnostics, our therapeutics and our vaccines don’t work,” she said.
“We will continue to see variants emerge, we will continue to see variants of concern around the world, and we must do everything we can to really limit the spread. “Even though there is increased transmissibility demonstrated by some preliminary studies, we need much more information about this virus variant in this lineage in all of the sub-lineages, so we need more sequencing, targeted sequencing to be done.
