The emergence of the Delta and Delta Plus variants has once again put India in a state of high alert.
Two weeks after the Indian government declared the COVID-19 variant Delta Plus one of concern, health experts say the mutation, also known as AY.1 or B.1.617.2.1, has an extra mutation in the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and poses a new challenge for the country, even with nationwide mass vaccination underway.
Initially, the Delta Plus variant was declared by India s health ministry as a variant of interest; however, later on, it was classified as a variant of concern for its characteristics of increased transmissibility, stronger binding to the receptors of lung cells and potential reduction in monoclonal antibody response.
