A new variant of corona virus called XE has been reported to be a mutated mixture of two variants of omega-3, PA1 and PA2. It was discovered in the UK last January. There have been 637 cases so far across the UK. A similar strain has been found in countries such as France, Denmark, and Belgium.
As the impact of the corona epidemic around the world is seen to be diminishing, this announcement by the World Health Organization has caused fear among the population. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Corporation yesterday said that an XE type corona has been detected in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Corona was confirmed on March 2 to a costume designer who came to Mumbai from South Africa last February. The Mumbai corporation had said that he had been confirmed to have XE type corona infection.
In this context, the Central Government has commented on the news that a new type of mutated corona virus has been detected in India. Accordingly, it has been reported that there is no mutation in the omega-type mutant XE virus found in Mumbai. A study by INSACOG geneticists has revealed that there is no XE type infection.
