[LISTEN] Dr. Mohammed Moosajee: There has been a Spike of the Coronavirus in Communities
Dec 23, 2020
The former manager and doctor of the Protea’s Cricket team and Lenasia doctor Mohammed Moosajee says while it is very early to tell, experts believe that preliminary data may suggest that the new variant of COVID-19 may be more virulent, transmissible and more infectious for younger people.
Dr Moosajee was speaking to Radio Islam on Tuesday, following the announcement by Health Minister Dr. Zweli Mkhize last week that South African scientists have identified a variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Last week, the chairperson of the Ministerial Advisory Committee on COVID-19, Professor Salim Abdool Karim said the new variant of the Coronavirus in the second wave is spreading faster in South Africa than the first wave.
