Covid 19 New Strain

The JN.1 sub variant of COVID-19 was found in 19 samples that were tested over a period of time, but these are old cases and are no longer active, a top health official said on Thursday.

Vaccines that have been directed towards the spike protein of the virus may find difficulty in mounting adequate immunity against the mutated version because of the structural changes that have been reported in the viral genome, according to WHO.

Rejecting a plea seeking setting up of international task force of experts to find out the extent to which the new COVID-19 virus strain was responsible for the deaths in India, the Supreme Court today said that it does not have jurisdiction for it.

India received 1,25,000 vials of antiviral drug Remdesivir, the fourth Covid relief shipment, from the United States on Sunday as New Delhi fights a deadly second wave that has strained its healthcare system.

King George Medical University (KGMU) has begun probing the gene sequencing of coronavirus to detect its new strains found abroad in some countries. The facility will soon start at BHU, Varanasi, and Lucknow’s CDRI and NBRI.

The total number of persons infected with the mutant strain of COVID-19 from the UK reached 109 on Thursday, informed the Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare.

As India logged 16,375 fresh COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours - lowest in the country since June 25 (16,922) - the total number of new UK strain cases rose to 58. Twenty new cases were detected at Pune's National Institute of Virology - one of the 10 labs conducting genome sequencing of Covid swabs, the government said. As the coronavirus tally ...

The Karnataka government, though not overly worried about the mutant strain that has put many countries on alert, is not easing up social distancing restrictions, particularly with capital Bengaluru preparing for New Year celebrations. It may even go after those people who are reportedly untraceable since arriving in the state from the UK where the...

India added only 19,556 new coronavirus infections in the past 24 hours, the lowest since early July, according to Health Ministry data released this morning. The country's total number is now at 1,00,75,116. The number of Covid-related deaths reported from across the country in this period was 301, taking the total to 1,46,111.
