#Coronavirus may have mutated to become more infectious: Fauci

The coronavirus has mutated in a way that might help the pathogen spread more easily, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday.Research is underway to confirm the possible mutation and its implications, Fauci said, adding that "there’s a little dispute about it." Viruses naturally mutate and scientists have previously said they have observed minor mutations in the coronavirus that have not impacted its ability to spread or cause disease in any significant way.
