"In response to the new strain spreading in the United Kingdom, the European branch of the World Health Organization will closely follow the situation," said the Regional Director of the World Health Organization in Europe, Hans Kluge.

Kluge added: "Member states will meet to discuss screening strategies, reduce the level of transmission and enhance communication about risks," and no date has been set for this meeting yet.

The World Health Organization said on Monday that it expects to soon obtain more details about a new strain of Coronavirus.

 Officials said, pointing to a British analysis, that there is no evidence that the mutated strain of the virus increases the risk of the disease although it is more widespread.
