Finland reports first case of ‘Mu’ variant of Covid-19, now in 40 countries

Finland has reported the very first case of the ‘Mu’ variant of the coronavirus, which was classified as a “variant of interest” by the World Health Organization (WHO) last month. The variant does not pose any additional threats compared to the other variants of the virus causing the infectious disease.

“All variants that can evade protection conferred by a previous infection or vaccine-provided immunity are potentially worrying, or ones that we have to monitor,” the report said.
