加米施－帕滕基興位于德國南部巴伐利亞州最南端，與奧地利接壤。據(jù)巴伐利亞廣播公司和《南德意志報》等媒體報道，此次變異毒株被發(fā)現(xiàn)系始于加米施－帕滕基興一間醫(yī)院內(nèi)暴發(fā)的聚集性感染。

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is located at the southernmost tip of Bavaria in southern Germany, bordering Austria. According to media reports such as the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation and Süddeutsche Zeitung, the mutant strain was found to be a cluster infection that started in a hospital in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

截至當(dāng)天，該醫(yī)院內(nèi)共有73名病人和工作人員感染了新冠病毒，其中35人的樣本中檢測出了一種迄今未被發(fā)現(xiàn)過的變異毒株。

As of that day, a total of 73 patients and staff in the hospital had been infected with the new crown virus, and samples of 35 of them had detected a variant strain that has not been detected so far.

涉事醫(yī)院負(fù)責(zé)人施托克克勞斯納當(dāng)天表示，已將三份變異毒株樣本送往柏林夏里特醫(yī)學(xué)院的國家實驗室進(jìn)行分析。他強(qiáng)調(diào)，尚不清楚這一毒株較目前已發(fā)現(xiàn)的新冠病毒毒株是否更具傳染性或者是否會導(dǎo)致重癥率上升。

Stockklausner, the person in charge of the hospital involved, said on the same day that three samples of the mutated strain had been sent to the National Laboratory of the Charité Medical School in Berlin for analysis. He emphasized that it is not clear whether this strain is more contagious than the currently discovered new coronavirus strain or whether it will cause an increase in the rate of severe illness.
