The new type of corona posed in Britain poses a major problem for the world facing the corona epidemic. These new types of cases are also on the rise in India. However, India has succeeded in decoding a new type of corona and has become the first country in the world to do so.

The corona epidemic in India is under overall control and the number of new corona cases is declining rapidly. Also, two corona vaccines have been approved by an expert panel.

At such times a new problem has arisen in front of the world. A new strain of corona virus has emerged in Britain. This new type is more dangerous than before, as it spreads very quickly from one person to another. However, in the midst of this bad news, there is more good news in India.

A new strain of the virus from Britain has been successfully identified in India. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) on Saturday tweeted that India had successfully identified a new type of virus that was rapidly going viral. India has isolated the UK mutant strain. This isolation will help investigate the effect of the new mutant strain on the corona virus vaccine, ICMR said. At the same time, it can be checked whether the corona vaccine will affect this strain or not.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus Covid-19 was tracked through a nationwide network of ICMR laboratories from the early days of the epidemic in India. The new strain of corona virus is spreading rapidly in India after Britain, South Africa and the Middle East. The number of people infected with the new type of corona in India has risen to 33. All these patients are kept in special isolation.
