The ban was imposed from 11.59 pm on December 22 to 11.59 pm on December 31. Those who arrived in India from earlier flights were tested RT-PCR at the airport itself.

 

The new form of the virus spreads 70% faster

Mutations occur continuously in the virus, that is, its properties change. Most variants end up by mutation on their own, but sometimes it becomes many times stronger and more dangerous than before. This process happens so fast that scientists do not even understand one form and a new form comes out. Scientists estimate that the new form of coronavirus found in Britain can spread 70% faster than before.

 

Which countries found a new strain?

The new strain of coronavirus was first discovered in Britain. Apart from Britain, cases of this new strain have been reported in India, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Japan, Lebanon, Singapore, and Nigeria. On the other hand, a new strain of coronavirus has also been found in South Africa. This is different from the new strain in Britain.

 

What is the mutation? Does the virus have mutation normal?

Mutations mean changes in the genetic material of an organism. When a virus makes millions of copies of itself and goes from human to human or from animal to human, every copy is different. This difference in copy increases. After some time, a new strain comes out suddenly.

 

This is a very common process. Viruses keep changing their form. Seasonal influenza emerges as new every year. Because of this, scientists are not too surprised about the new variants of Covid-19. Novel coronavirus was revealed in Wuhan (China). It killed more than a million people in a year. Many mutations have also occurred in this virus. New strains of Corona surfaced in South Africa and Nigeria after UK; Know what will be the effect on the vaccine
