The World Health Organization has included the Russian strain of coronavirus AT. 1 to the list for further monitoring. This follows from the data on the website of the organization. It is noted that this SARS-CoV-2 mutation was detected in Russia in January 2021.. WHO has been closely monitoring this strain since June 9, according to published data.. The list also contains mutations previously recorded in the United States, Brazil, the Philippines, Indonesia, Colombia and the United Kingdom.. The WHO monitoring list is adding strains of SARS-CoV-2 with genetic changes that are believed to affect the characteristics of the virus and may pose a threat in the future, but for which there is still insufficient evidence.

They require enhanced monitoring and reassessment of data. The list now includes 15 variants of SARS-CoV-2, three of which were previously on the list of strains of interest under the names Epsilon, Zeta and Theta. Earlier it was reported that the Delta strain dominates in the USA and Germany.. The new strain is rapidly spreading around the world.
