South Africa scientists hve now detected a new Covid-19 in small numbers, on which they are still working, reports said on Thursday.

The country, as as a result, requested an urgent sitting of a World Health Organization (WHO) working group on virus evolution on Friday to discuss the new variant.

South African Health Minister Joe Phaahla said it was too early to say whether the government would impose tougher restrictions in response to the newly discovered variant.

South Africa was the first country to detect the Beta variant last year.

Beta is one of only four labelled "of concern" by the WHO because it is comparatively more contagious and covid-19 vaccines work less well against it.
