India's daily Covid numbers jumped by 12 per cent as the country reported 47,092 new cases on Thursday. Active cases constitute 1.15% of total cases, while the national COVID-19 recovery rate stands 97.48 per cent, the Union Health Ministry said.
A new variant of S-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, has been detected in South Africa and many other countries globally which could be more transmissible and evade protection provided by vaccines, according to a study. The new variant has more mutations than other variants of concern or variants of interest detected worldwide so far, researchers said.
