Delta Plus: New variant of Corona.

We all know about coronavirus or covid 19. It’s been more than one year since when the world saw the first case of coronavirus. Since then corona hits the world two times and once again corona is ready to hit the world with his new variant called Delta Plus. So let’s talk about corona’s new variant of corona Delta Plus.

So let’s know the meaning of covid 19.

So we all know that COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new variant of coronavirus. Covid is the short form of coronavirus disease. 'CO' stands for corona, 'VI' for the virus, and 'D' for disease. It spreads with the close contact of infected people. There are two variants already discovered Alpha and beta and there is a new variant that comes recently called Delta plus.

So when we listen to the new variant of delta plus, the first question that comes to mind how much dangerous is this new variant?

So this new variant of the corona is very dangerous in comparison to its other variants. WHO Director-General Tudors Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced that this COVID-19 Delta Variant is the most transmissible of the variants identified so far and is spreading rapidly among unvaccinated populations and WHO said as of June 29, 2021, 96 countries have reported cases of the Delta variant. So it is clear that this new strain is very dangerous.

Now the question is that why this is so dangerous?

Delta Plus has been formed as a result of Delta acquiring a mutation called K417N in the spike protein. That makes it the fastest and fittest’ variant yet that’s why this Delta variant makes it replicate faster and evade the body’s immunity mechanism.

How can we protect ourselves from getting infected by this new strain?

So this new variant is 50 to 60 % more dangerous than other variants. But this new variant of corona spreads like old variants of the covid. That’s why we have to follow all the precautions that we followed before like do not go out without any unnecessary work, wear a mask, don’t touch your face too frequently, and get vaccinated with both doses. If you take only the first dose of the vaccine that there is a chance that you can get infected so please get vaccinated with both doses.

Conclusion

It is clear that this new variant of covid is very dangerous more than ever. It is the fastest and fittest variant ever known. So we have been careful, more than ever. Remember precaution is the best cure.

Thank you.
