Le directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l\u2019Institut Pasteur, Hechmi Louzir a pr\u00e9cis\u00e9, ce mercredi 3 mars 2021, que le variant britannique du SRAS-CoV-2 responsable du Covid-19 a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9couvert chez quelques personnes r\u00e9sidant \u00e0 Tunis, dans les quartiers du Lac et d\u2019El Ghazela, \u00e0 Bizerte et \u00e0 Sbe\u00eftla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il a ajout\u00e9 que c\u2019est dans le cadre de suivi de pr\u00e8s les mutations possibles du virus , trois cas portant ce variant ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9tect\u00e9s, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la technique du s\u00e9quen\u00e7age du g\u00e9nome, aupr\u00e8s de 171 personnes test\u00e9es positives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il a confirm\u00e9 que le variant britannique est pr\u00e9sent en Tunisie et il est plus contagieux que le virus originel et peut conduire \u00e0 des cas plus graves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A noter les mutations du virus est la cons\u00e9quence du d\u00e9veloppement de l\u2019immunit\u00e9, certains variants ne survivent pas et d\u2019autres \u00e9chappent \u00e0 la r\u00e9ponse immune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le vaccin pourrait ne pas prot\u00e9ger \u00e0 100% contre le virus s\u2019il mute mais il prot\u00e8ge contre les cas graves et nous devons poursuivre la strat\u00e9gie de la vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M.Louzir a indiqu\u00e9 que la commission scientifique se r\u00e9unira aujourd\u2019hui pour examiner les mesures sanitaires en place et celles qui devront \u00e9ventuellement \u00eatre r\u00e9vis\u00e9es et soumettre ses propositions \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence du gouvernement..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
