Answers
Answer:
The Delta Plus variant of SARS-CoV-2 has become a worry for an anticipated third wave, which can be prevented or mitigated at least on the basis of lessons learnt from the past two waves.At a time when India has barely put behind the horrors of the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic, Maharashtra has sounded alert for the third wave. Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 was held responsible for towering second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. The Delta variant had been first reported from Maharashtra last year.
Now, Delta Plus variant has been detected even though it has not been classified as a variant of concern (VoC). Delta Plus variant was first detected in Europe in March this year. It has been isolated in some samples in India and around 10 other countries. Delta Plus is a new version of its mutant variant Delta.
It is, however, not known whether Delta Plus variant is more infectious or fatal compared to the Delta variant. Delta variant has been found to be deadlier and capable of causing more severe Covid-19, leading to higher rate of hospitalisation of patients.
Every successful mutation helps a virus or any other organism thrive better. This is principally why Delta Plus variant of SARS-CoV-2 has become a worry for an anticipated third wave, which can be prevented or mitigated at least on the basis of lessons learnt from the past two waves of Covid-19 pandemic.
