COVID could eventually mutate into a "ultimate" variant 600 times more infectious than the original from Wuhan, experts have claimed.

NEW THREAT Covid could mutate into ‘ultimate strain’ 600 TIMES more infectious than Wuhan original, experts claim

A study which plotted future outcomes for the virus, flagged a worrying - although rare - possibility it could truly outfox vaccines and lockdown attempts.

A lab in Israel found there is a way Covid could spread much faster, if the right mutation happened.

Led by scientist Gideon Schreiber, the research broke down the virus' spike protein "hook", which it uses to break into human cells, into it's most basic parts.

It then used those to try and work out all the possible combinations that could be made through virus mutations.

One of which was 600 times better at infecting humans than the original strain - evading vaccine antibody defences and with increased transmissibility.

The authors wrote: "Further in vitro evolution enhancing binding by 600-fold provides guidelines towards potentially new evolving mutations with even higher infectivity.

"These findings suggest the need for close monitoring of the efficiency of drugs and vaccines for current and future mutations."
