The Hindu

Karnataka on Thursday reported 364 more Delta (B.1.617.2) variant cases taking the total number to 1,089. The new cases are from samples collected two to four weeks ago. Delta variant cases in the State that stood at 725 till Wednesday shot up to 1,089 on Thursday. This strain has been labelled a variant-of-concern (VoC) by the WHO because of its ability to evade an immune system response. Members of the State Genomic Surveillance Committee said the high number of Delta cases being detected from retrospective samples clearly indicate that the second wave in the State was largely driven by this variant.More Related News
