BT: The mutated Brazilian coronavirus has been discovered in Bergen Hospital Trust
The Brazilian virus variant has been discovered in Helse Bergen, newspaper Bergens Tidende (BT) reports.
Helse Bergen states that a case of the Brazilian mutated virus has been confirmed for the first time, according to the newspaper.
It is not yet known whether this is the first known case in Norway.
The mutated variant was first discovered in northern Brazil and is apparently more contagious and more resistant to the vaccines.
