Not Enough Data Yet On Delta Plus Covid Variant?

The new Covid strain Delta Plus has now been detected in at least 11 countries around the world. Cases have been reported from India, Canada, China, Japan, Nepal, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Turkey, Switzerland and the US. In India, there are over 40 cases of the new strain across eight states. But so far while there are suggestions that it may be more transmissible and shows resistance to treatment protocols, most doctors and researchers feel we need more data before drawing definite conclusions. We spoke to Dr Sanjeev Krishna, Professor of Molecular Parasitology and Medicine Infection and Immunity Research Institute at St George's, University of London and Dr Hemant Deshmukh, Dean at KEM Hospital in Mumbai on their concerns.
