* Two of these triple mutant strains have been found in samples collected from Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh. * Viruses mutate all the time, as part of evolutionary biology. Some mutations weaken the virus while others may make it stronger, enabling it to proliferate faster or cause more infections. * So far, India's health ministry has only acknowledged the presence of the “double mutant”. However, it has only been identified as a "variant of interest" and not a "variant of concern". * The mutated strains of the virus can be detected through genome sequencing of sam...
