Coronavirus Double Mutant

The UK strain of coronavirus is currently dominating parts of north India while the double mutant variant is found mostly in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat, Director of the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Sujeet Singh said on Wednesday

The B.1.617 variant of the coronavirus, also known as the double mutant, is fast replacing the N440K variant in south India, scientists at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) said on Tuesday.

The Tripura government has sounded an alert after the double mutant strain of coronavirus and those of Britain and African variants were found in the state, officials said on Friday.

The 'Indian strain' of the coronavirus, known as B.1.617 or a 'double mutant', has been found in at least 17 countries, the WHO said, as the world grapples to contain the surge in the COVID-19 cases with 5.7 million infections detected last week.

Covaxin, India's home-grown Covid vaccine produced by Bharat Biotech, has been found to neutralise the B.1.617 variant or the Indian double mutant strain, White House Chief Medical Adviser Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday.

The UK strain is driving the Covid surge in Delhi, an analysis of samples has revealed. Data released by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says over 400 cases of the UK strain and 76 of the Indian double mutants were found in Delhi.

Covaxin - the coronavirus vaccine developed and manufactured by Bharat Biotech - "... neutralises multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2... effectively neutralises the double mutant strain as well...", the ICMR, the government's top medical research, said

With India's daily tally of Covid-19 infections surging by records, public health experts worry that a new -- possibly more virulent -- coronavirus variant could be racing through the crowded nation of more than 1.3 billion people.

A global mutation tracker on Friday suggested the "double mutant'' coronavirus, first identified in Maharashtra, has a cumulative prevalence of 10 per cent in India, a finding that some scientists here said is based on insufficient data and needs mor

Strains of the Covid virus in India with "double mutations" have been found in patients in 10 states and this could be responsible for rising infections and a faster spread in these states, top sources in the Union Health Ministry told NDTV.

The government today denied that strains of the Covid virus in India with double mutations were responsible for more severe infections and a faster spread.

With 53,476 new coronavirus cases, India saw the biggest single-day jump in total infections in nearly five months as two states - Maharashtra and Gujarat - saw the highest-single day spike since the start of the pandemic. As the country continues to see a worrying surge in infections amid concerns over a second Covid wave, the government yesterday...

Alarm bells over a fresh spike in Covid cases in India - 1.35 lakh have been reported in the past 72 hours and the active caseload has increased for a 14th straight day - began ringing Wednesday as the government said a new "double mutant variant" of the virus had been detected in 18 states

A new "double mutant variant" of the coronavirus has been detected in 18 states in the country in addition to many other strains or variants of concern (VOCs) which have also found abroad, the Health Ministry said today amid fears of a second wave of the crisis in the country.
