The British coronavirus strain has been discovered in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Federation entity's Crisis Staff said Tuesday.

Head of the laboratory and professor at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Sarajevo Teufik Goletic said that the British strain was discovered during the sequencing of 23 samples…

“By sequencing the virus on 23 samples taken from July to February, unfortunately, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine discovered the new British B117 strain of coronavirus in one sample. Fortunately, there is no mutation that causes a weaker effect of currently available vaccines,” said Goletic.

The Crisis Staff also decided to allow visits to nursing homes, which now must make visitation plans. Cantons may adopt more restrictive but not more liberal measures.
