Study finds remdesivir-resistant version of COVID-19 in renal transplant recipients

Recent studies have shown that patients with weakened immune systems—which enables the virus that causes COVID-19 to remain longer in the body, copy itself, and continually change—may enable the development of new, slightly different versions of the virus (variants).
