New variant of Covid-19 certified in the south of England.
Athraitheach nua ar covid 19 deimhnithe i ndeisceart Shasana.
British Health Secretary Matt Hancock has pointed out that a new variant of Covid-19 disease has been found in humans in England.
Tá sá tugtha le fios ag Rúnaí Sláinte na Breataine Matt Hancock go bhfuil athraitheach nua ar an ngalar covid 19 aimsithe i ndaoine i Sasana.
Matt Hancock said the new variant may be related to the recent rapid spread of Covid-19 in the south of England.
Dúirt Matt Hancock go mbfhéidir go bhfuil baint ag an athraitheach nua le mearscaipeadh covid 19 i ndeisceart Shasana le deireanas.
He said cases of this variable are rising faster than cases of existing variables.
Dúirt sé go bhfuil cásanna den athraitheach seo ag ardú níos gasta ná cásanna de na hathraithigh atá ann cheana féin.
It has been infected by about 1,000 people in nearly 60 municipal districts, he said.
Tá sé tolgtha ag thart ar 1,000 duine i mbeagnach 60 ceantar bardais, a dúirt sé.
However, he argued, there is no evidence that the new variant of the disease is more dangerous than any other and suggested that the vaccines developed by pharmacists will be able to beat it.
Mar sin féin, a mhaígh sé, níl aon fhianaise ann go bhfuil an t-athraitheach nua den ghalar níos contúirtí ná aon cheann eile agus thug sé le fios go mbeidh na vacsaíní atá forbartha ag lucht cógaisíochta in ann é a chloí.
Matt Hancock also announced that the highest level of restraint will be applied in London from tomorrow morning in light of the recent rise in Covid-19 cases in the city and surrounding region.
Dfhógair Matt Hancock freisin go gcuirfear an leibhéal srianta is airde i bhfeidhm i Londain ó arú amárach i bhfianaise an ardaithe atá tagtha ar chásanna covid 19 sa chathair agus sa réigiún máguaird le gairid.
