Fox News
While research into emerging coronavirus variants is ongoing, one expert cautioned that they are “not magic,” and that the measures in place to mitigate current spread will still work against the new strains.
"I want to emphasize that these variants are not magic," Gronvall said. "A lot of the things we’ve been doing throughout this pandemic will continue to work when it comes to these variants." The diagnostic tests that were developed to detect the initial strains will also continue to work, she said, adding that if there are any "threats to the capacity of testing," the FDA is monitoring and will notify manufacturers and consumers.More Related News
