Delta variant of Covid-19 mutates into Delta Plus: All you need to know

新冠德尔塔变种变异为“德尔塔+”变种

NEW DELHI: Around 40 cases of the Delta plus variant, classified as a variant of concern (VOC), have been detected sporadically in Maharashtra, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh, the Union health ministry said on Wednesday.

新德里：印度卫生部周三表示，在马哈拉施特拉邦、喀拉拉邦和中央邦零星发现了约40例感染“德尔塔+”变种的病例，该变种被归类为“令人担忧的变种”(VOC)。

The govt has written to these states to take up immediate containment measures in the districts where Delta Plus variant, categorized as a 'Variant of Concern', has been detected.

印度政府已致函这些邦，要求在发现“德尔塔+”变种的地区立即采取遏制措施。

The highly infectious Delta variant (B.1.617.2) of Covid-19 that first surfaced in India is feared to have mutated into a more virulent version called AY.1 or Delta Plus — one that is possibly capable of resisting even the monoclonal antibodies cocktail currently being prescribed as a cure.

首次在印度发现的高传染性的德尔塔变种(B.1.617.2)恐怕已经变异为更具毒性的版本，称为AY.1或“德尔塔+”（Delta Plus）——这种变体甚至可能能够抵抗目前的单克隆抗体鸡尾酒疗法。

As per Public Health England (PHE), an executive agency of the UK government's health and social care department, 63 genomes of Delta (B.1.617.2) with the new K417N mutation had been identified so far on the global science initiative GISAID.

英国政府卫生和社会保健部门的执行机构英国公共卫生(PHE)表示，全球科学倡议GISAID迄今已鉴定出63个带有新K417N突变的德尔塔变异病毒基因组。

From my personal experience I can say vaccine works. My in laws get infected, both are having one shot one month before.

根据我的个人经验，我敢说疫苗有效。我的姻亲被感染了，一个月前他们都打了一针疫苗。

No one, either scientists & govt told that the person got 1 or 2 doses of Vaccine, will be 100% free from covid infection chances ...Yes , it is 100% true that mortality rate for them will be too much less or rare against non vaccinated people...So get your Vaccine as early possible and maintain SOP of covid... only way to normalise the country..

无论是科学家还是政府，都没说过，接种了1或2剂疫苗的人100%不会感染新冠病毒。与没有接种疫苗的人相比，他们的死亡率要低得多，这是100%的事实

所以，尽早接种疫苗，遵守预防规定…只有这样才能让国家恢复正常…

Tariq Khan

what next - The vacccines hack into your immunity system and you might need boosters every year ?

接下来会发生什么?

疫苗会侵入免疫系统，可能每年都需要打加强针?

Asif khan

what's wrong with everyone.Such a pathetic coverage of news.Very irresponsible writing.World knows vaccine is for protection.Still majority of citizens of our beloved country are not vaccinated

大家都怎么了。如此悲观的报道，非常不负责任。全世界都知道疫苗是起预防作用的。我们的大多数公民仍然没有接种疫苗。

Maxmus Supari

Nothing is positive in this BJP era....All country is sinking.....They are big panoti for india and indians...

在这个人民党时代，没有什么是积极的....整个国家都在下沉.....

Andy Parlap

Sad state of affairs! Unnecessarily creating panic. So far 60% deaths happened due to fear more than the virus.

可悲的状况！

制造恐慌。到目前为止，60%的死亡更多是由于恐惧而不是病毒。

We all know vaccines do not work esp for the new variant. So only locking yourself inside will work for years - do not meet anyone, do not have physical contact - just stay home and order things online.

我们都知道疫苗不起作用，尤其是对新变种。因此，只有让自己待在家里才能保证安全——不见任何人，不进行身体接触——呆在家里，在网上购物。

Sudeep Biswas

the vaccine efficacy is between 70 to 80 percent, then how is it surprising if 10 percent gor affected

疫苗的效力在70%到80%之间，那么如果10%的人受到感染，又有什么好惊讶的呢

Sudeep Biswas

Delta variant has already swept India.... and majority must have already antibodies against it.... also vaccine efficacy is not 100 percent but definitely the best bet for all....instead of fear mongering by writing such articles, lets get vaccinated, follow covid rules

德尔塔变种已经席卷印度....大多数人肯定已经有了针对它的抗体....此外，疫苗的效力不是100%，但绝对是所有人的最佳选择....与其写这样的文章来散播恐惧，不如鼓励大家去接种疫苗，遵守新冠防疫规定

sethu raman

why is the media only giving negative news all the time? As fourth pillar of de-cracy, press has a major role to play. Please please boost the morale of the public .

为什么印度媒体总是只发布负面新闻?

新闻界作为第四大支柱，发挥着重要作用，请提高公众的士气。

Rag Ani

vaccine helps big time in boosting immunity n fighting CoviD by weakening the nCov19 virus thus reducing criticality substantially...

疫苗通过削弱新冠病毒从而大大降低其致命性，大大增强人体的免疫力

Spreading unnecessary fear

传播恐惧

Shivaprasad Dabholkar

Doctors have to make up their collective mind about the efficacy of the vaccine. One day we get the news that the vaccine is effective against the Delta variant and the next day we are told that it isn't. People will be hesitant about taking the vaccine if the present uncertainty about its efficacy continues

医生们必须统一口径，说明疫苗的效力。前一天我们得到消息说疫苗对德尔塔变种有效，第二天我们被告知无效。如果目前对疫苗效力的不确定性继续存在，人们将对接种疫苗犹豫不决

Jay Boro

such useless and Fear mongering news.. Testing positive doesn't necessarily mean vaccine is not working.. After all majority of tests results are fake..

检测呈阳性并不一定意味着疫苗无效。毕竟大多数检测结果都是假的。

rajv57381

Spreading negative news, fake news,creating panic in public, Abusing ruling government is the main agenda for all most all media houses and News channel’s.

GOD SAVE OUR COUNTRY

传播负面新闻，假新闻，在公众中制造恐慌，抨击印度执政政府是所有媒体和新闻频道的主要议程。愿神保佑我们的国家

Vikas Shelke

All are confused and media has many reason to play more confusions

所有人都感到困惑，媒体总是制造更多的困惑

Long Street

so we can expect a new vaccine soon followed by new variants for every 3 months

每3个月就有新变种，很快就会有新疫苗的

Narendra Mertia

If every one would follow the Corona protocols strictly, Delta variant would not be able to breach your vaccination shield

如果每个人都严格遵守防疫规定，德尔塔变体将无法突破你们的疫苗防护。

Ramesh Sargam

Vaccine really works. No doubt about it. But few who test positive even after two doses. There the doubt about the efficiency of vaccine arises. Medical fraternity need to clear the reason behind it and encourage people to go for vaccination.

疫苗确实有效，毫无疑问。但有些人在注射两剂后检测呈阳性，人们便开始怀疑疫苗的有效性。医学界需要澄清背后的原因，并鼓励人们去接种疫苗。
