Nagpur: The sequencing of the samples of Covid-19 patients has revealed 20 Delta plus patient variants in Maharashtra on Wednesday.
From them, 2 came from the Gondia and each of the Akola and Chandrapur.
This marks the entry of Delta Plus variants in Vidarbha.
Previously, the Delta variant, from Amravati, was common in the region.
Experts told Tii, there was enough evidence that the Delta Plus variant was not as dangerous with the original Delta variant, which was dominant in the second wave in Vidarbha.
“It has been proven even in Maharashtra that Delta plus the patient’s variant has a minor infection rate to medium and is not serious.
More variants like that will continue to appear,” said the infectious disease specialist Dr.
Nitin Shinde.
The Ministry of Health Public has appealed to the public to adopt the appropriate behavior of covid without fear when the virus continues to change its genetic makeup and is part of the viral life cycle.
Fast vaccination is also effective in controlling further mutations in viruses.
If the virus does not get the opportunity to multiply, the possibility of a new mutation will also decrease, he said.
Another pause factor for Vidarbha is that the sample tested positive for Delta-Plus variants detected at least 2 weeks ago and sent for testing only.
The fact that no surge or death witnessed over the past two weeks shows that Delta-Plus does not cause a serious threat to the area.
