Responding to the Constant Emergence of Novel SARS-CoV-2 Mutants
- The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus, which frequently mutates during the replication step. Although most mutations have minimal impact on the characteristics of the virus, some may affectaffect its transmissibility, the severity of associated diseases and the efficacy of diagnostics, preventives and treatments.
