What is the Nepal Covid variant? And is it in the UK? Here's all we know so far
Health officials have denied the existence of a Nepal variant of Covid-19 following reports a new mutant strain may have been detected in the UK.
The World Health Organisation said they have no knowledge of any new variant originating in the Himalayan nation after reports the UK’s SAGE committee is concerned by the mutation.
The Daily Mail claimed a Nepal variant could threaten foreign holidays to destinations such as Portugal, as the new vaccine-resistant variant may have been detected there and in other European countries.
