Possible attributes of a variant of high consequence: In addition to the possible attributes of a variant of concern
A variant of high consequence would require notification to WHO under the International Health Regulations, reporting to CDC, an announcement of strategies to prevent or contain transmission, and recommendations to update treatments and vaccines. DJ Why is Delta (+) not yet a VOHC ????? Because it is not "just" one virus but on ongoing proces-most likely resulting in evading immunity variants ???
