Up to date, the MU variant seems to have landed in 39 countries and no explanation is given to the public how this variant transported itself into these countries.
However, the variant, which was first detected in Colombia in January 2021, is still classified as a ‘Variant Of Interest’ (VOI).
To date, several VOIs have been detected in Malaysia, including Varian Eta (B.1.525); and Kappa variant (B.1.617.1).
