The eyes of the scientific community are focused on Arcturus, the new variant of the coronavirus that is sweeping India. This highly contagious variant, which emerged in January, reached Britain where at least 50 cases have been identified, while it has also been detected in other countries such as the US, Singapore and Australia, but cases are still few.

"By September we may have 2-3 more epidemics," warned Greek American doctor and NCI researcher George Pavlakis, who told SKAI channel that most respiratory viruses do not provide adequate immunity to stop the infection. This results in re-infection.

The coronavirus will not go away, warns the doctor and researcher, Chief of the Human Retrovirus Section of the National Cancer Institute, Giorgos Pavlakis, referring to what the pandemic has in store for us.

"The cost is and will remain huge of the pandemic," he stressed, speaking to SKAI tv.
