Patrick Vallance speaks at COVID-19 press briefing

The video discusses a new virus variant, focusing on its increased transmissibility. It examines three key questions: the variant's transmission rate, its impact on disease severity, and its effect on the immune response. Evidence from genetic, frequency, and laboratory studies suggests the variant spreads faster and is becoming dominant. However, there is no current evidence that it causes more severe disease or increased hospitalization.
