The official spokesman of the Ministry of Health Dr. Muhammad Al-Abd Al-Aali during the scientific conference on the mutation of the Coronavirus (Covid-19):

Wa Lillahil Hamd (to God belongs all praise)!, the Kingdom proves once again its interest in human health and puts it first, and its concern for the safety of the citizen and resident, and the proactive and preventive steps will contribute to the safety of society and achieve more gains to confront the pandemic.

Thankfully, this mutated strain of Coronavirus (Covid-19) has not yet been detected in the Kingdom, and the suspension of travel aims to reduce the possibility of people infected with this mutation entering the Kingdom.

Assistant Undersecretary for Preventive Health Dr. Abdullah Asiri during the scientific conference on the mutation of the Coronavirus (Covid-19):

Thousands of mutations in the Coronavirus (Covid-19) were recorded around the world and did not have a clear effect on the speed or ferocity of the virus spread, this mutation that was recorded in Britain does not cause an increase in the death rate, Wa Lillahil Hamd1 (to God belongs all praise)!

The director of the Center for Disease Prevention and Control (Weqaya) Dr. Abdullah Al-Quwizani during the scientific conference on the mutation of the Corona virus (Covid-19):

Continuation of the national program to study the whole genome sequence of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) by performing the genetic sequencing of positive cases coming from European countries or any country where the epidemic appeared.

Continuing to monitor the global epidemiological situation of the extent of the spread of new strains and mutations of the virus, and study the effect of mutations in the epidemiological and clinical situation, and this strain may have an impact on the speed of spread.

The Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health for Medical Services, Dr. Ahmed Al-Judea during the scientific conference on the mutation of the Coronavirus (Covid-19):

Several mutations occur with the mutated virus, mutations usually occur in many RNA viruses such as influenza and do not mean an increase in the severity or virulence of the virus or its resistance to drugs and vaccines, and may lead to the weakening of the virus in many cases.

So far, there is insufficient data on the phenotypes of the genome mutations of the virus in Britain and the extent of their effect on antibodies on the mutated virus equation, and it has not been proven that this change affects the Corona vaccine.

The official spokesman of the Ministry of Health Dr. Muhammad Al-Abd Al-Aali:

Praise be to God, no case has been detected in the Kingdom yet of the mutated Corona virus, and we have scientific committees and experts that follow up and monitor all developments related to the pandemic.

I advise everyone on the importance of wearing the muzzle and applying social distancing, because the virus with all its mutations, if we adhere to it, cannot transmit, God willing.
