Florida researchers say coronavirus mutating, becoming more infectious

New research suggests the coronavirus responsible for the current global pandemic has mutated into a more infectious strain of the virus.

According to a report released by the Florida-based Scripps Research Institute, COVID 19 has mutated since the pandemic began.

The Scripps team says the mutant virus infects cells more efficiently, causing it to spread more rapidly.  The research was published earlier this month and is still undergoing a peer review.

WDBO reached out to both of the lead researchers on the project.  We will update the story as we learn more.
