Описание: Virologist Dr Ian Lipkin on Saturday said that there may be more variants of Covid-19, which are already appearing. He was speaking at the India Today Conclave.


"Covid-19 has surprised us since it first emerged. I hope it's over but can not say with great confidence, it depends on how we respond," Lipkin said.

He added that long Covid is an emerging challenge, where people has mild symptoms but remained crippled with cognitive dysfunction, shortness of breath, fatigue for a long time and even if the virus disappears, they might continue to remain infected. "It's a complicated picture and we have to think about acute disease and the importance of preventing a future pandemic," Lipkin said.
