<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A group of researchers from Sunnybrook Research Institute have successfully isolated the Coronavirus. While this doesn’t mean there is a cure for the pandemic, this does allow scientists to do further testing and provide long term solutions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clinical Biologist, Dr. Rob Kozak stated,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Researchers from these world-class institutions came together in a grassroots way to successfully isolate the virus in just a few short weeks. It demonstrates the amazing things that can happen when we collaborate.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those who don&#8217;t know, when a virus is isolated, it has been obtained outside of the human body and can be studied.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/coronavirus-covid-19-virus-isolate-canada-scientists-mutations-strains-a9399226.html">Independent.Co.UK,</a> the virus was also isolated in China, Italy, and Australia. This is important because each time the virus mutates and evolves, there are more strains of the coronavirus, which are collectively known as Sars-CoV-2.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Samira Mubareka, microbiologist stated:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We need key tools to develop solutions to this pandemic. While the immediate response is crucial, longer-term solutions come from essential research into this novel virus.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The isolated virus will be used to help with vaccines, diagnostic testing, and treatments.</span></p>
