Bristol Covid variant could reinfect Brits who’ve been vaccinated with fears it could ‘rip’ across UK, Sage expert warns...

Professor John Edmunds said the mutant strain could also reinfect those who have caught the bug before - as he warned it would be "very dangerous" to let the virus rip through Britain.

The Bristol strain emerged last week- along with another Liverpool variant.

It developed directly from the Kent strain and now includes a mutation called E484K, allowing the virus to evade vaccines more easily.

Prof Edmunds told ITV's Robert Peston: “I don’t know whether the Bristol variant is any more transmissible than the Kent variant - I suspect it isn’t."


But "the real worry," he said, was the strain's potential to reinfect.


He added: “Where it has an advantage, potentially at least, is that it may be able to reinfect people who have been previously infected or have been previously vaccinated - that’s the real worry with that particular virus.”

The mutation present in the Bristol strain is already found in both South African and Brazilian coronavirus variants.

It is being closely monitored by Public Health England.

Meanwhile, Professor Edmunds last night warned it would be "very dangerous" to let the virus rip through Britain after vaccinating the most vulnerable groups.

He also said some Covid measures would remain "probably forever" although he hopes we will be "more or less free of this" by the end of the year.
