After Omicron, now the new variant of Corona, Neokov, has raised the concern of the world. The scientists of Wuhan have made a big claim about this. They say that this variant has been found in South Africa. Both its infection and death rate are very high. It can kill one out of every three patients. Let us tell you that Wuhan is the same city from where the corona epidemic spread in 2020.
