The Delta variant has now mutated again to form another 'more contagious' strain called Delta Plus or AY.4.2. But what is it, where did it come from, and should we be concerned? Read on to find out.
Delta variant was responsible for the ferocious second wave of coronavirus in India. Now the virus has mutated further to form Delta Plus. Here is what India's condition is at the moment.
Covaxin is developed by the Bharat Biotech in collaboration with ICMR and the National Institute of Pune. The study states: "The sera of individuals who were fully immunized (with 2 doses) didn't show significant fold-reduction in the NAb titer against Delta, Delta AY.1 and B.1.617.3."
The Delta variant has mutations in its spike protein, which helps it bind to the ACE2 receptors present on the surface of the cells more firmly, making it more transmissible and capable of evading the body's immunity.
Union Health Ministry on Thursday raised with the states the issue of violations in COVID-19 norms in many parts of the country, especially hill stations, and impressed upon them the need for focussed public health measures to check the pandemic.
According to the reports, the second wave is behind us, and the risk of a third wave has increased. Get all the live updates about Covid-19 here.
The Delta has mutated to form two more variants that have been detected in India recently AY.1, which is commonly known as the Delta Plus, and AY.2.
WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that the Delta COVID-19 variant is spreading rapidly across the globe.
The government will take a final decision on Monday to remove all legal requirements currently in place to mitigate the spread of coronavirus from July 19.
The experts have stressed producing new vaccine designs to keep pace with the emerging Covid strains from evading the body's immunity.
The study showed that around 58% population who were given a single shot of the Covishield's COVID-19 shot did not carry any of the antibodies for the newly detected Delta Variant.
As the coronavirus is mutating, the experts have warned that the most common COVID symptoms may have changed from those that were traditionally associated with the virus infection. Check if you have them.
The emergence of the Delta and Delta plus strains of the coronavirus has placed India, and the rest of the world, on high alert yet again. Read to know everything about the newly detected virus.
So far in India, a total of over 40 cases of the Delta Plus variant have been detected sporadically in Maharashtra, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh.
COVID-19 Delta strain was behind the devastating second wave of the pandemic in India and now we see the emergence of the Delta Plus mutation. Read on to know why these are termed 'variants of concern'.
