A new variant (variant) of the corona virus has been found in parts of Britain, which is spreading rapidly.
He said that the
World Health Organization has notified it and UK scientists are doing a
detailed study on it.
The minister said
that this disease can worsen and the vaccine may not work on it.
He told the House
that cases of infection with the Coron virus in parts of London, Kent, Essex
and Hertfordshire have increased very fast last week.
The Health
Minister said, "At present we have received more than 1,000 cases of this
type of virus which have been reported especially in the southern part of
England. These cases have been found in 60 different areas.
"Because of
this, we have to take fast and decisive action which is necessary to control
this deadly disease, even if vaccine is being given for it."
Professor Witty,
Chief Medical Officer of England, said that this new type of corona virus has
been detected in the present-day corona virus, which has been found in the last
few weeks, especially in Kent and surrounding areas.
Hardest lockdown
In view of this
potential danger, the strongest lockdown has been announced in England so far.
New rules will be introduced in London, and especially in parts of Essex and
Hertfordshire, from Wednesday.
Tier 3 will have
high alert on a large scale. Pubs and restaurants will remain closed in this,
only takeaway and delivery will continue. Apart from this, theaters, cinema
halls etc. will remain closed.
However, some
sections have also expressed resentment over the stringent lockdown.
Representatives of the hospitality sector have warned that this could put
thousands of jobs at risk.
Try to understand
the virus
Changes in the
virus are linked to the spike proteins present in it. These are the part of the
virus that helps to infect the cells and the Corona virus vaccine has been
prepared keeping this in mind.
Now it is
difficult to know how this will affect the change of virus.
Expert Professor
Alan McNally at Birmingham University told the BBC, "We don't have to
worry too much." This does not mean that it is more contagious or
dangerous. We just have to keep an eye on him.
There is a big
effort to understand this type of virus. It is important to maintain peace in
the event of stress.
Doctor Jeremy
Farrar, director of Welcome, says it can be serious. Its monitoring and
research on it should continue and we should take necessary steps so that we
can stay ahead of the virus.
Jonathan Ball, a
professor of molecular virology at Nottingham University, says, "The genetic
information of many viruses can change very quickly and sometimes these changes
benefit the virus, such that it can spread rapidly or escape the effects of the
vaccine." is. However, many times the changes in the virus have no effect.
"Even though
a new type of virus has emerged in Britain, but it can be a coincidence.
Therefore, it is too early to make any claims until we are able to study the
changes and effects of the virus.
State of germany
and america
Corona virus cases
are decreasing in many countries but the risk is increasing in many places.
In Germany, strict
lockdown will be done during Christmas keeping in mind the increasing cases of
corona virus infection and deaths due to it.
Non-essential
