World ''better prepared'' for Covid variants: BioNTech CEO
12:54pm, Thursday, 17'th Feb 2022 Business Recorder
FRANKFURT: The world is becoming "better prepared" to deal with future variants of the coronavirus, the CEO and co-founder of German vaccine-maker BioNTech told AFP Thursday, as the company works on an Omicron-specific shot.

As the surge of cases due to the spread of the more transmissible Omicron variant of the virus seemed to be receding in Europe, Sahin said it would not be the last virus wave. New virus variants were inevitable "because the virus will mutate further", he said, potentially leading to new flare-ups in cases. But the world was "entering a phase where society is getting a better understanding on how to deal with the virus," Sahin said.
