This state now has a COVID variant "double mutant"
Here's where he is and how to protect yourself from that.
Since December 20, 20, a number ofCOVID Mutations have been identified around the world. Now the researchers have discovered a potentially disturbing variant in India, that the BBC nicknounced the "double mutant" as it does not contain one, but two mutations in its genetic composition - and it has already been to the United States. United. Read to find out where the new double mutant has been identified - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseSigns that your illness is actually coronavirus in disguise.
The double mutant has been identified in California
According to experts, each of the mutations of this dual mutant has been identified in other variants of concern being followed by the US centers for disease control and prevention. "We do not know how these two mutations behave when they are associated," Dr. Benjamin Pinsky, director of Stanford's Clinical Virology Laboratory, where the first national cases of the double mutation have been identified, said in an interview with theLos Angeles TimesMonday.
The double mutant has been identified for the first time in Mumbai
Pinsky claims that the evidence of the mutation was first disclosed by the Indian government of March 24, after an increase in infections in the second most populous state of the nation, Maharashtra, where is Mumbai. The double mutation represents 15% to 20% of new cases of coronavirus. "These mutations give an immune evidence and increased infectivity",ReleaseFrom the Ministry of Health of India and the protection of the family. "These mutations were found in about 15 to 20% of the samples and do not match the preoccupation alternatives previously cataloged."
Fast propagation around the world is "concerning"
The next day, the Stanford laboratory confirmed the same variant in a sample of a patient in the San Francisco Bay area. In addition, there are seven presumptive cases in the same region. "On the 25th, we recovered our sequence and found that" wow, it's actually the same variation they talk about, "continued Pinsky." So, this widespread rapid in the world is pretty impressive, and also a little in regards to."
L452R (the one found in California variant) and E484Q (closely linked to the E484K mutation found in South Africa, Brazil and the variants of New York) are the two mutations that make up the double mutant. "What we do not know is how these [two mutations] will behave when they are placed in the same virus," said Pinsky. "There is a reasonable amount of information on these [two mutations] individually. But will it be worse if they are together? We do not really know how they will interact."
How to protect against the double mutant
The best way to protect yourself from double mutant as well as other COVID strains? Taking into account the fundamental principles of Dr. Anthony Fauci, no matter where you wear afacial maskwhich suits perfectly and is double layers, do not travel, the social distance, avoid the big crowds, do not go inside with people that you are not shelter with (especially in the bars), practice a good Hygiene of the hand, get yourselfvaccinated when it is available for you and to protect your life and the lives of others, do not visit these35 places you are most likely to catch Covid.
