B.1.617 variant of SARS-CoV2 has sub-lineages; B.1.617.2 more infectious: Expert | India News

NEW DELHI: The double mutant B.1.617 variant of SARS-CoV2 is further mutating and one of its sub-lineages, the B.1.617.2, reported in India, is more infectious than its parent and fast increasing its footprint, Rakesh Mishra, former director of the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, said on Wednesday.
He also said there is nothing called the “Singapore variant”, a term that has led to a war of words between the Centre and the AAP government after Singapore objected to chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's tweet that a "new" coronavirus strain in the city-state is very dangerous for children.
Singapore's health ministry on Tuesday night said the strain that is prevalent in many of the Covid-19 cases in recent weeks is the B.1.617.2 variant, which was first detected in India.
