Shi Zhengli is the head of the Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
According to American media publication Newsweek, Zhengli has issued a statement that the world should be “prepared to live with a continuing stream of variants for the foreseeable future.”
“As the number of infected cases has just become too big, this allowed the novel coronavirus more opportunities to mutate and select. New variants will continue to emerge.”
