Six cases of mutant virus strain in India

Six cases of a mutant strain of Corona that first surfaced in the UK, have been detected in India, reported NDTV.

The new strain is believed to be 70 per cent more infectious, but doctors have said there is no reason yet to believe that it is more lethal or will not be controlled by a vaccine.

All six patients have recently returned from the UK, where cases have spiralled within days.
