doctors found a new dangerous version of Coronavirus in the south of Brazil. This is reported by TASS with reference to the study of Brazilian scientists under the leadership of Pritiscilation Wink, Researcher of the Federal University of Rio Grand Du-Sul in Porto Alegre.

He was called “Lambda” -Shtam Sars-COV-2, which extends to Peru and neighboring countries of Latin America since the end of the summer of 2020. The document states that a group of physicians first discovered his traces in Brazil: presumably, the virus penetrated there from Argentina.
