Mutant Coronavirus New Strain

Molecular Biology Consortium based at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source (ALS) claims to have discovered an antibody that can neutralise all known SARS-CoV-2 strains, including the new mutants.

The central government has warned against the Delta Plus variant, a new mutant version of the Delta strain of Covid first detected in India, and has called it a "variant of concern".

The Delta plus variant, a new mutant version of the Delta strain first detected in India, has been found in 22 cases in Maharashtra, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh and is a "variant of concern", the government said in a warning to these states.

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

A new strategy is required to battle the Covid surge in the country that is fuelled by laxity in maintaining safety measures and a mutant strain of the Covid, Dr Randeep Guleria said on Saturday.

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.

Amid a spike in daily new cases of COVID-19 in some states including Maharashtra and Kerala, the Centre has advised them to increase the proportion of RT-PCR tests and regularly monitor mutant strains besides refocusing on strict surveillance and stringent containment in selected districts.

The total number of persons infected with the mutant strain of COVID-19 from the UK reached 109 on Thursday, informed the Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare.

India added 16,946 fresh Covid cases taking its tally to 1.05 crore cases, the Health Ministry data this morning showed. The number of fresh infections is six per cent higher than Wednesday, when the country registered 15,978 cases.

The number of people who have tested positive for the new UK variant of SARS-CoV-2 in India has climbed to 96, the health ministry said on Monday.

An Air India flight from UK has landed in Delhi with 246 passengerson board amid concerns about a mutant fast-spreading strain of the coronavirus that emerged in Britain.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will visit India later this month, sources in the British High Commission told NDTV, asserting that there's no change in his plan even as the United Kingdom sees the strictest restrictions in months over a new mutant strain of coronavirus.

As India logged 16,375 fresh COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours - lowest in the country since June 25 (16,922) - the total number of new UK strain cases rose to 58. Twenty new cases were detected at Pune's National Institute of Virology - one of the 10 labs conducting genome sequencing of Covid swabs, the government said. As the coronavirus tally ...
