Today the conditions of Corona in the country are not hidden from anyone. Almost every state of the country is vulnerable to this dangerous virus. Corona has reached a terrible state in these states Delhi, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. You would not know that India has now become the second most affected country by Corona. India too has overtaken Brazil. The United States ranks first. The second wave of Corona is killing people in India. On 25 April 3, 52,991 lakh new cases were reported in India. The biggest concern among all this is the mutation of the corona virus.

Corona virus third mutation B.1.617 strain of virus has been found in four states of India. Which includes Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh. The double mutation strain of Corona virus in India was B.1.167. Two mutations of which are E484Q and L452R. Which was revealed in October last year. According to experts, this mutant may be responsible for the second wave of Kovid-19. Let us know in detail about corona virus mutations.

What is corona virus mutation?

The corona virus (corona virus) is changing when it is transferred from one person to another like a virus. In simple language, it is called mutation. Although many mutations are not dangerous and do not alter the behavior of the virus, some mutations alter the protein spike that is used to penetrate the virus's human cells. Triple mutants refer to variants that have three distinct strains and which together form a new variant. So far, several versions of SARS-CoV-2 are airing globally and this is a new challenge for Triple Mutants India.

Dr. P. Veena Menon, a professor at the Virology Clinic (VIROLOGY) laboratory at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, told IANS that when the virus spreads, it is more likely to mutate. This is the natural life cycle of the virus, but it is important that we monitor these changes in the virus and control its characteristics associated with mutations.

Corona virus mutation and new variants

B.1.1.7, called the UK variant, was found in the South East of England. It was called Variant of Concern. Experts found that the virus was 40–70% more infectious than other variants and had a death risk of over 60%.

Brazilian variants known as P1. Was more dangerous and contagious than older mutations. E484K mutations also escape antibodies.

B.1.351, the South African variant was found in at least 20 countries, including the United Kingdom.

The Brazilian variant E484K mutation makes this variant dodge antibodies. Additionally, the N501 mutation makes it more contagious.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), these new variants are more contagious and can cause serious health conditions. Experts consult the help of Genome Sequencing to find out about the variants. Let's know what genome sequencing is?

Genome Sequencing for Corona Virus Mutations

Genome sequencing is a type of study in which the genetic structure of any organism and the changes that occur in it are studied. This gives information about the origin of the corona virus, its root, the changes in it, causing the virus to become strong or week.

In January this year itself, the government established the Indian SARS-CoV2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG) to accelerate genome sequencing efforts in India through a network of 10 laboratories.

Are new variants and corona virus mutations causing severe symptoms? (Do New Variants Cause Severe Symptoms)

The recent growth of covid cassettes and young young copulations indicate that new variants pose greater health risks to people. Also, they are more related to death risk than the original strain. The most common symptoms of corona virus are fever, phlegm, fatigue, and smelling and no test. Some people also face severe respiratory complications that include difficulty in breathing, chest pain, chest heaviness, etc. These symptoms are of oxygen deprivation.

Can Double Masking be avoided by Triple Mutant?

Masks have always been considered effective to protect against corona. The Center of Disease Control and Prevention has said that wearing two masks, not one mask, is more effective. This is being called 'double masking'. It is more than 90 percent effective in preventing droplets from entering the body. Double masking involves first wearing a surgical mask and a cloth mask over it. Apart from this, cloth masks can also be worn one above the other. After wearing the mask, it is necessary to check if the mask is loose from anywhere. It is not affected when loose or under the nose. Do not wear two surgical masks simultaneously. This can cause problems with breathing. Two masks of cotton can be worn simultaneously. In addition, you can wear a surgical mask and a cotton mask. If you are having difficulty breathing after wearing a double mask, then wearing the same mask is the right thing to do.

Explain that the surgical mask is effective up to 56.1% in preventing droplets. At the same time, it is up to 77% effective when tying the knot in the elastic of the surgical mask and folding the edges. The double mask is effective in preventing droplets by up to 85.4 percent.
