(ANSA) – ROME, FEB 18 – The Higher Health Institute (ISS)
said Thursday that it has launched a new survey to map the
spread of the British, South African and Brazilian variants of
COVID-19 in Italy.
The outcome will be based on the results of tests that the
regions and autonomous provinces must send in to the ISS by
March 1.
Last week the results of a flash survey showed that the British
variant accounted for over 17% of the new cases of COVID-19 in
Italy. (ANSA).
