German Authorities Alarmed By Coronavirus Mutations Spread

German health authorities are working at high speed to gain an overview of mutations of the COVID-19 virus believed to be spreading rapidly through the population, government spokesman Steffen Seibert said in Berlin on Wednesday.

An official report on the actual spread of the variants, which are thought to be more transmissible, is expected at the start of next week.

By Tuesday, 114 cases of the variant first identified in Britain had been found in Cologne, along with 52 cases of that first discovered in South Africa, an official spokeswoman said.
