4 new variants of Kovid-19 found in India
In many states of India, four new variants have been found in the country amidst the increase in the cases of Kovid-19. Dr. Rajiv Bahl, director of ICMR, said that the variants that have been sequential from South and West India are LF.7, XFG, JN.1 and NB.1.8.1 series.
Sequencing is being done by taking samples from other places, so that the new variant can be examined. Cases are not very serious, people should not worry, just be cautious.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has also not considered them worrying. However, has been categorized as a variant kept under surveillance. This variant is visible in the increasing cases of Kovid in other countries of Asia including China.
Spike protein mutations such as A435S, V445H, and T478i of NB.1.8.1 spread rapidly compared to other variants. They do not affect the immunity against Kovid.
Kovid’s JN.1 variant is the most common in India. This variant is found in more than half of the samples in testing. This is followed by cases of BA.2 (26 percent) and Omikron Sabalines (20 percent) variants.
