Mumbai: The new variant of Corona Virus XE found in India. The first case of the virus was registered in Mumbai on Wednesday. A total of 376 samples were taken, in which the infection of the XE variant of corona was confirmed in one patient. This variant was introduced from the United Kingdom.
The same BMC has told in its latest sero survey that one case each of XE variant and Kappa variant has been confirmed in the city. It has been told in the report that the reports of a total of 230 persons were sent for sero survey. Of these, 21 people have been admitted to the hospital. None of the people required oxygen or intensive monitoring.
The XE strain was first detected in the UK on 19 January and since then more than 600 XE cases have been confirmed. Britain’s Health Protection Agency (HSA) chief medical adviser Suzanne Hopkins says there is not yet enough evidence to draw conclusions about its infectivity, severity or the effectiveness of corona vaccines against them.
