As per the data by the Delhi government, the Delta variant was found in about 54% of April tests and 82% of May samples. Read on to know more.
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.
In a new report, authorities have shown concerns over the cases of the Delta variant, the most widely prevalent variant of concern in India.
The Delta variant which first emerged in India in 2020 and subsequently spread globally within a short time period is also responsible for the ferocious second wave of coronavirus that ravaged the country earlier this year.
A new study found that the delta variant was unable to escape all but one of the antibodies tested. Should you be concerned? Read on to know more.
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.
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.
According to reports, the extremely infectious Delta plus form of the coronavirus has been discovered for the first time in Tripura, after the detection of the Delta strain in three northeastern states.
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.
Highlighting the deadly characteristics of the Delta variant, the experts said that it can possibly shatter the vaccine cover, as SARS CoV-2 -- the virus which causes the disease -- has the potential to acquire deadly mutations.
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.
WHO has warned that the world is in its 'danger period of the pandemic' due to the emergence of the newly detected Delta variants of the coronavirus, which has placed India and the rest of the world on high alert.
Amid a spike in the cases of coronavirus again, the World Health Organisation on Thursday warned that the COVID-19 Delta Variant will soon become dominant worldwide. Read to know what WHO has to say.
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.
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.
Covaxin comprises a disabled form of SARS-CoV-2 that cannot replicate but still stimulates the immune system to make antibodies against the virus. Catch all the live updates here.
