The World Health Organization (WHO) is studying a variant of the coronavirus that was first discovered in Latin America and called "lambda," DW writes.
Experts from the World Health Organization do not rule out that it may be more contagious than the usual virus and pose a great threat to the human immune system.
However, there is no exact conclusion on this issue yet.
The mutation was first reported in Peru in August 2020, with 81% of the infections reported in the country belonging to this strain.
In Argentina and Chile, this share is about one-third.
