Seven elderly people in Belgium died after being infected with a new mutant strain

　　 According to a Reuters report on the 9th, seven elderly people in a Belgian nursing home were still infected with a variant of the new crown virus last week and died last week after being vaccinated with the new crown vaccine. This strain has not yet received the Greek letter designation of the World Health Organization, and the European disease control department has listed it as a "negative" mutant new coronavirus strain.

　　 According to reports, as of now, 21 elderly people and many staff in this nursing home have been infected with this mutant strain. The seven deceased were all 80 or 90-year-olds, and some of them were in poor health before contracting the virus. The inspectors need further analysis to determine whether the deceased actually died of this mutant strain.

　　 This strain was first discovered in Colombia and recently spread from South America to the United States. It is a rare case in Europe.

比利时7名老人感染一新型变异毒株后死亡

　　据路透社9日报道，比利时一家养老院的7名老人在接种过新冠疫苗后，仍于上周感染一种新冠变异病毒毒株死亡。这一毒株尚未获得世界卫生组织的希腊字母命名，欧洲疾控部门将它列为“需要留意”的变异新冠毒株。

　　据报道，截至目前，这家养老院中已有21名老人和多名工作人员感染这一变异毒株。7名死者均为八九十岁的老人，其中一部分人感染病毒前身体状况已经欠佳。检测人员需要进一步分析，以判定死者是否确实死于这一变异毒株。

　　这种毒株最早在哥伦比亚被发现，最近由南美洲蔓延至美国，在欧洲属于罕见病例。
