Corona update from states… Maharashtra has the highest number of deaths at 18. 4 new variants of Covid-19 found in India. Amidst the increase in Covid-19 cases in many states of India, four new variants have been found in the country. ICMR Director Dr. Rajiv Bahl said that the variants sequenced from South and West India are of LF.7, XFG, JN.1 and NB.1.8.1 series. Samples are being taken from other places and sequenced so that new variants can be investigated. The cases are not very serious and people should not worry, just be cautious. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also not considered them to be of concern. However, it has been categorized as a variant under surveillance. This variant is seen in the increasing cases of Kovid in other Asian countries including China. Spike protein mutations like A435S, V445H, and T478I of NB.1.8.1 spread faster than other variants. They are also not affected by the immunity built against Kovid. The JN.1 variant of Kovid is the most common in India. This variant is found in more than half of the samples in testing. After this, cases of BA.2 (26 percent) and Omicron sublineage (20 percent) variants are also found. JN.1 variant weakens immunity
JN.1 is a strain of Omicron’s BA2.86. It was first seen in August 2023. In December 2023, WHO declared it a ‘variant of interest’. It has about 30 mutations, which weaken immunity. According to Johns Hopkins University of America, JN.1 spreads more easily than other variants, but it is not very serious. It remains the most common variant in many parts of the world. The symptoms of the JN.1 variant can last from a few days to weeks. If your symptoms persist for a long time, you may have long-term covid. This is a condition in which some symptoms of COVID-19 persist even after recovery. ————————————————— Also read these news related to Corona… 20 lakh increase in deaths due to Corona in the year 2021, revealed in government report; The number of deaths due to covid-heart disease increased at double the rate this year After a year, active cases of corona in India have crossed the 1 thousand mark again.
