The head of the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, Dr Anurag Agarwal has mentioned that presently there is no evidence to suggest that the Delta plus variant of Covid-19 will cause the third wave of infection in India
“I certainly do not see any reason right now for people to panic regarding Delta Plus being significantly worse than Delta or creating a major third wave…There is absolutely no evidence for that,” he said while talking to a news channel
Dr Agarwal added that the Delta plus strain was detected in less than 1% of over 3,500 samples from Maharashtra that his institute sequenced in June. However, he emphasised that the strain was still a “variant of concern”.
However, he has cautioned against lax behaviour and lowering of the guard as the second wave shows signs of subsiding in India. Agarwal told the news channel that the country should be concerned about the continuing second wave of the pandemic, before worrying about the third.
Meanwhile, the Centre has issued notices to Maharashtra, Kerala, and Madhya Pradesh regarding the Delta Plus variant after it was found in some districts of these states.
