However, patients infected with this variant have not yet shown serious symptoms of the disease and the number of patients admitted to hospital is also less. In such a situation, there is nothing to worry about. Health Ministry sources said that the process of mutation will continue to occur in these variants and this is also the nature of the coronavirus.
