00:16 Let's start.
00:18 It was only a matter of hours before the Colombian variant spread a little everywhere in France.
00:24 A few days ago, a laboratory in the Montreuil-sur-Mer region in North Pas-de-Calais
00:30 confirmed the existence of a COVID-19 case, notably the Colombian variant.
00:35 It was the first case reported in the Hauts-de-France region.
00:39 In the days to come, new cases should appear,
00:42 even if for the time being, this strain of the virus is not considered a "concern".
00:47 The Colombian variant of COVID-19 reported in the Hauts-de-France region.
00:51 This new strain of the COVID-19 virus is not yet considered among the worrying strains,
00:56 but it is no less than it spreads a little more every day.
00:59 In recent days, it is in the Hauts-de-France region that a first case has been reported
01:03 by a laboratory in the Montreuil-sur-Mer region.
01:07 Our teams carried out a nasopharyngeal sample which turned out to be the first case of the 21-hour variant,
01:12 said Colombian, detected,
01:14 and delivered to the laboratory managers in Montreuil after a recent assessment of the different variants of COVID-19
01:19 recorded in their facilities.
01:22 Should we be wary of it?
01:24 What is the future, therefore, for this Colombian variant of COVID-19?
01:28 For now, it is not yet considered by the WHO as a major risk.
01:33 However, several people infected in Belgium with this strain have already lost their lives
01:37 when they had all received one or two doses of a vaccine.
01:41 Only time will do its work and allow us to judge in the weeks to come whether or not
01:46 we will now have to think about being more careful about this new strain of the COVID-19 virus.
