Scientists have identified a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, with similarities to SARS-CoV-2. Read on to know more about the virus variant, and understand what CDC has to say about the current threat.
HKU5-CoV-2, a new deadly bat virus discovered at Wuhan lab, sparks global pandemic fears. Experts urge vigilance, research, and global cooperation to prevent outbreaks.
Stealth Omicron or BA.2 is a sublineage of the Omicron COVID-19 variant identified in some parts of the world that has raised concerns among health experts. Everything you need to know.
First found in South Africa, this highly virulent strain of COVID-19 has already spread to over 90 countries, dashing hopes that the worst of the pandemic is over.
The new study also showed that the Omicron can partially escape immunity from vaccines and past infection, the overall threat from the variant is likely to be very significant.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has also warned countries not to dismiss Omicron as mild.
The Omicron variant of COVID-19 has already spread to over 53 countries, the WHO said on Sunday. Here's what the global health body wants you to know about this new virulent COVID-19 strain.
Omicron cases are doubling in the UK every other day. In this light, scientists are saying that Britain may see a 'large wave of pandemic' in the coming months.
Published in 'The Lancet Infectious Diseases' journal, the study showed that the Covishield COVID-19 vaccine had an efficacy of 63 per cent in fully vaccinated individuals, while it was 81 per cent effective against the moderate-to-severe disease.
First detected in South Africa, the Omnicron variant of COVID-19 is so far the most mutated version of coronavirus. The strain is reportedly spreading fast across the globe.
A most mutated variant of COVID-19 has been detected in Botswana, South Africa. Read on to know everything about this new strain.
The newly detected COVID-19 strain in South Africa is capable of making 41.8 mutations per year which are approximately 1.7-fold faster than the current global rate.
A variant may be more or less dangerous than other strains depending on the mutations in its genetic code. Mutations can affect attributes like how contagious a viral variant is, how it interacts with the immune system, or the severity of the symptoms it triggers.
On June 14, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared lambda a "global variant of interest". Get all the live updates about Covid-19 here.
Lambda has seven mutations on the spike protein, the mushroom-shaped projections on the outer shell of the virus that help it latch onto our cells and invade them. Know everything about this new COVID-19 variant.
As per BMC's Covid-19 protocols, if there are more than five active cases in any particular building, it is eligible for sealing to prevent further spread of the contagion.
Lambda has been associated with substantive rates of community transmission in multiple countries, with rising prevalence over time concurrent with increased COVID-19 incidence.
Delta variant of COVID-19 was found in India in October 2020. The variant has now mutated to form another highly infectious strain Delta Plus. Read to know everything about it.
