G-7 ministers meet on emergency before spread of coronavirus variant

The G-7 health ministers meet in emergency this Monday to discuss the omicron variant of the coronavirus that is spreading throughout the world, while experts seek to know the impact it will have on the fight to eradicate the pandemic, reports Afp.

The meeting was called by the presidency of the group, in charge of the United Kingdom, one of the countries that registered cases of the variant.

Ómicron, initially detected in southern Africa, posed a new challenge to the global effort to combat the pandemic.

Several countries reimposed restrictions that they hoped were a thing of the past.

"We know that we are in a race against time," said the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, adding that vaccine manufacturers need two to three weeks "to have a complete picture of the quality of the mutations." .

Several countries imposed travel restrictions on southern Africa, including Qatar, the United States, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the Netherlands.

Japan announced on Monday it was closing its borders to foreign visitors, weeks after easing its strict entry measures.

Moderna places the hypothetical development of an omicron vaccine by 2022

The American pharmaceutical company Moderna, creator of one of the most widely used vaccines against covid-19, placed this Sunday the hypothetical development of a new injection adapted to the omicron variant for early 2022.

"If we have to create a completely new vaccine, that will be in early 2022," reports Efe from the BBC interview with Moderna's chief medical officer, Paul Burton.

Burton also pointed out in Andrew Marr's program on British television that

the pharmaceutical company has hundreds of people working on this new strain since Thursday

and explained that in the coming weeks they plan to have been able to determine the effectiveness of the existing vaccine against omicron.

Since the new variant was identified in the middle of last week, the main manufacturers of vaccines against COVID-19 in the West, including the Americans Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, began to test the effectiveness of their products against this strain. .
