What is the Delta plus variant in India and what you should know?

After we saw the country reeling from delta variant cases, we now have reports about a new mutation of viruses: Delta plus variant in India. This is now a reason for concern. As we have seen, the delta variant is now present in some countries and there are some cases of Delta plus variant in India too.

Do we need to worry about the Delta plus variant in India?

The Delta variant cases in India and around the world caused concern for world agencies like World Health Organisation (WHO) and others. But they have not raised any alarm in any other countries except the Delta plus variant in India.

What questions come to our mind now?

Now that we hear about Delta plus variant in India, there are some questions that are plaguing our minds.
Will it affect more people than the delta variant?
Will it cause a more serious infection than the second wave in India?
Vaccine effectiveness against the delta plus variant in India

As far as the delta plus variant in India is concerned, it has not yet been clearly established if it is more infectious or serious than the delta variant. But what we can gather from the evidence available, is that there is no reason to question the vaccine effectiveness. The vaccines continue to be effective against delta and the delta plus variant in India. But more research regarding vaccine efficacy & (If Applicable) effectiveness is still underway.

What caused the Delta plus variant in India?

The delta plus variant has been caused because of mutation of viruses and the spike protein of the delta virus K417. The K417N mutation of the delta virus is responsible for the Delta plus variant in India.

डेल्टा प्लस वैरिएंट से hume क्या सीख मिलती है:

डेल्टा प्लस वैरिएंट हमको सीखाता है कि COVID अभी गया नहीं है और जो precautions का इस्तेमाल हम कर रहे है उनको लगातार करते रहना है। Frequent hand wash करना है, double masking करनी है, social distancing का ध्यान रखना है और अगर बहुत ज़रूरी है तभी घर से बाहर जाना है। आपको crowded जगह को avoid करना है और अगर आप public transport का इस्तेमाल कर रहे है तो social distancing का ध्यान ज़रूर रखें और साथ में डबल masking bhi करे।
