According to the latest report from the Kazakhstan Satellite Network, a variant strain of the COVID-19 virus “ETA” has recently appeared in 4 regions in Kazakhstan. The Ministry of Health of Kazakhstan stated that the mutant strain may be highly contagious, and the infected person will have symptoms such as high fever, cough, and loss of smell and taste.
According to the Stanford University Coronavirus Antiviral and Drug Resistance Database, as of the end of August, the “ETA” virus has appeared in 81 countries/regions around the world.
In addition to the cases in Kazakhstan this time, at least 82 countries/regions around the world have been affected by the “ETA” strain.
