The emergence of mutations in the spread of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a natural process. Mutations can develop during the process of copying the genetic make-up, when a cell splits. The more copies of a cell are made, the higher the likelihood that mutations will come into existence. Most recently, B.1.1.529 (Omicron) has been found in 99.8 percent of the new confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Germany.
