Right now, the entire world is worried about the coronavirus having mutated into a virulent strain. Although the words ‘tests’, ‘quarantine’ and’ isolation’ have become less and less common in recent times, the virus has mutated itself to spread rapidly and has turned dangerous. Already these types of cases are more than 70 per cent in London, hence most of the countries have cancelled their flights to the UK. New SOPs have been announced to screen passengers arriving from London. Research details about this new type of strain are being revealed.
Affecting children mainly
Those who got infected with Covid19 mostly suffer issues with their lungs. There were many people who suffered from a lung infection and also died even after recovering from Corona. Especially the elderly were the ones who suffered the most. Recently, Congress veteran Motilal Vora also died due to post COVID-19 complications. In the case of the current Corona, it is likely to have a greater impact on children.
Vandy Berkeley, a virology specialist and member of the virus advisory group, said the coronavirus attacks the immune system before it enters the body. Neil Ferguson, a professor at Imperial College London, also commented that the new strain has a dangerous effect especially if children were infected. Scientists state that this information is based on the preliminary diagnosis. But still, further research needs to be done to understand how children are affected by this strain.
Take necessary precautions
The World Health Organization in its response regarding the new type of Corona has asked everyone to take necessary precautions. The full details of this corona strain are not known, so according to current information, all countries have been warned to be vigilant. The WHO claims that there is no evidence to suggest that this corona mutation is highly rapid and highly dangerous. It has urged all nations to remain vigilant and prevent Corona from re-emerging in the world.
