UK health chief: Indian strain ‘around 40%’ more infectious than British variant


coronavirus covid 3 worthy ministries(Worthy News) – Britain’s health secretary on Sunday said a coronavirus variant first detected in India was roughly 40 percent more transmissible than the so-called UK strain blamed for a severe COVID-19 outbreak over the winter.

“That figure, around 40% more transmissible, is the latest advice that I have. That means that it is more difficult to manage this virus with the new Delta variant,” Health Secretary Matt Hancock told Sky News, referring to the Indian strain by its formal designation.

The UK strain was itself thought to be more transmissible than earlier variants. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
