Mutations of SARS-CoV2 causing Covid-19 are now a major topic of discussion, especially regarding their impact on infection, disease severity and vaccine effectiveness.

The World Health Organization (WHO) leadership on 11 January 2021 stated that virus mutations would be highly problematic for global Covid-19 control. On 2 March 2021, Director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the progress made in dealing with Covid-19 in the US lately could be wiped out with the expanding mutations.
