With the decrease in the number of the corona cases in India, we the people of India started to experience that the devastation has finally came to an end. But sadly, the moment we started to go out again, the new variant of virus had emerged – the Delta Plus Variant, which gave another shock to the people of India.
The muted variety of Delta Variant- Delta Plus Variant has spread widely across the country, Indian.
THE SPREAD
49 cases of Delta+ variant had been recorded by 12 states of India till date. Maharashtra been one of the states again got hit badly with highest number of cases.
The Delta+ variant has already broadened in 85 countries around the world and South Africa is the reason behind the spread of this infection.
REASON TO BE CONCERN ABOUT DELTA+ VARIANT
Delta+ variant a.k.a AY.1, it is 60% more infectious when compared to previous version. Considerably it is more threatening for the lungs of patients who are already facing problems with their lungs.
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) declared that these mutations have raised the capacity of transmission and with this the spread from one person to other has become easy. This mutation made the virus job easy to get into the cells of the patients.
The reason to be concern about the variant is that the specialist of epidemiology and communicable diseases stated that Delta+ variant is dangerous variation of corona virus till date.

The Delta+ variant shows both the symptoms of delta variant as well as beta variant. And the symptoms are:
Headache, Chest pain, Fever, Cough, Skin rash, Shortness of breath and Diarrhoea.
