The modified coronavirus strain is thought to be more contagious in the UK. Lots of people could be hospitalized or die from the virus next year. This information has come up in a new study.
According to a study by the Center for Mathematical Modeling at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine's Department of Infectious Diseases, the new strain is 56 percent more susceptible to infection than other strains of corona. News from Bloomberg.com
Earlier, the UK government said the mutated virus was 70% more likely to infect than other conventional strains.
New strains have been identified in several countries, including Australia, Denmark and Singapore. Concerns have been raised that tests, treatment and vaccines may be less effective in the case of the new A virus. However, European health regulators say the new Stein Pfizer-Biotech vaccine will not have much of an impact.
In Britain it is now spreading at an unusual rate. Scientists say mutations in coronavirus-like spike-like spikes are altering the protein so that it can easily penetrate human cells. This is a cause for particular concern. 14 mutations have been identified in this new type.
According to a report, 2 million vaccines a week should be given to prevent the spread of corona in the UK. At present 2 lakh vaccines are being administered per week.
