Geneva: Experts have discovered a new variant of the coronavirus scare in the world. The new variant, scientifically known as B.1621, is named Mu by the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization is monitoring the virus with the discovery of a new variant. The Mu variant is first identified from Colombia in January. The World Health Organization explained the information in a weekly Covid Bulletin on Tuesday.
The World Health Organization said it is accompanied by genetically modified variants that bypass the resistance provided by vaccines, which increases the risk. At the same time, the World Health Organization stressed that more studies are needed to understand more about the virus.
There is widespread concern over the emergence of new viruses as the level of covid infection swells again globally. The arrival of new variants as the Delta variant spreads, leading to greater dispersion and death. The widespread reporting of Covid, especially in people who received one or two doses of covid vaccine, has also given rise to concern. But all viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, which cause covid, are converted over time and most mutations do not affect the properties of the virus.
But some genetic changes affect the properties of the virus and spread quickly. It can also influence the severity of the disease, immunizations, medicines and other preventive measures. The World Health Organization currently recognizes that four Covid variants have been reported, including Alpha, which exists in 193 countries, and Delta, which exists in 170 countries. At the same time, five variants, including Mu, need to be monitored. After being found in Colombia, Mu has been reported in other South American countries and Europe.
The Union Government points out that there are no cases of C.1.2 Kovid-19 variant in India so far. But the question still arises as to how deadly it is. No specific information is available for this. In addition to this covid, which has already been classified by the World Health Organization, another variant, C.1.2, has been discovered. But the World Health Organization has made it clear that it has not been distinguished as a covid variant and is being monitored. At the same time, none of these variants have been found in India.
