The fast-mutating Covid-19 coronavirus could have 40 different strains and one of the epicentres of the deadly disease was an English football match, says a report published today by scientists in Iceland.
The report, based on swabs taken from nearly 10,000 volunteers, shows that the European outbreak spreads from three major centres.
One in Italy, the country hardest hit by the pandemic, one in Austria, and one – the experts believe – spread from a football match in England attended by seven carriers.
The genetic detective work used the way viruses evolve to trace Covid-19’s path through Europe. 48 of the volunteers tested were found to be carrying the virus, adding to Iceland’s 648 coronavirus cases.
