China official rejects virus variant fears – The West Australian
An official at China’s disease control centre says fears are unfounded over a new COVID-19 variant and its immune impact on a recently authorised vaccine.

The shot, developed by an affiliate of state-backed company Sinopharm, was approved on Thursday, the day after news broke of China’s first imported case of a mutated variant of COVID-19 spreading in Britain.
The variant includes a genetic mutation in the ‘spike’ protein, which could theoretically result in easier spread of COVID-19.
