months. The study involved 1733 people, was conducted in Wuhan, China.
The Straits Times, January 09, 2021 (US Time), reported that South African coronavirus variant was
detected in reinfection case in Brazil. Researchers said reinfection with this mutation of the virus is a
first, but other cases of reinfection in Brazil and the South African variant had also previously been
detected. The evolution of the coronavirus has raised concern that certain mutations could allow the
virus to evade immunity from prior infections or vaccines. There are also reports that people infected
with the new variant may have more of the virus in their noses and throats than those infected with
earlier versions. We must adhere to precautions like social distancing, mask-wearing, hand hygiene
and improved ventilation. There are some nutritional supplements such as propolis, are suggested
for reducing the risk of COVID 19, but more evidence are needed.
