Why SCRN business model has huge potential TORONTO -- The World Health Organization (WHO) is monitoring a new variant of interest originating out of Colombia dubbed “Mu.”
In the agency’s weekly epidemiological update released on Tuesday, WHO listed the Mu variant, also referred to as virus B.1.621, as a variant of interest, and added the virus has a “constellation of mutations that indicate potential properties of immune escape.”
Mu was first identified back in January 2021 and there have been reports – of both sporadic and larger outbreaks -- across South America and Europe since.
