What is the Delta Plus variant?

With the rise of new Delta variant cases, if you are wondering what is the Delta Plus variant? We are here with some important information regarding it. The recent pandemic that turned the world upside down is known as the Coronavirus or Covid-19, which is the reason economies faced shutdowns and countless people lost their Lives and Livelihood. Then what is the Delta Plus variant? This is a mutation of the highly contagious Delta variant, which is accountable for the most recent surge in U.S. COVID-19 cases. It was first identified in India.

The first two cases of the Delta Plus variant have been registered by the Public Health Officials in South Korea. The details on how the first who was in his 40s got sick are relatively unknown yet, he doesn’t have any recent travel record too. The second case was discovered in a traveler who recently returned from the US, despite being already vaccinated by two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

What is the Delta Plus variant to be precise?

The deadly Delta Variant formerly known as B.1.617.2 that had wreaked havoc in countries like UK and India has just got an upgrade. The Delta Plus variant also known as B.1.617.2.1 or AY.1, consists of a new mutation in the spike protein which is used by the virus to enter human cells, called K417N.  WHO has named, said it’s still closely linked to Delta, so it’s been called Delta Plus rather than another letter in the Greek alphabet. As of now, Delta Plus has been found in proportionately low numbers.

Delta Plus was first detected in April in India’s state of Maharashtra. India was recently rag-dolled by the recent Delta variant, as Covid-19 cases were at a tremendous high of 400, 000 cases a day. The Indian Ministry of Health has released a statement on the Delta Plus citing 3 characteristics for concern. Which include – increased transmissivity, stronger binding to receptors of lung cells (easier entry into human cells), a potential cutback in response to monoclonal antibodies (which would imply that people’s immune systems might be less effective against this variant, or that they may be less receptive to life-saving monoclonal antibody medicament).

What are the Symptoms of Delta Plus?–

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and WHO, also list Delta Plus as a “variant of concern.” Delta Plus may be even more infectious than Delta, and Delta is already highly adept at infecting people. A few cases have been reported in the U.K., Portugal, and India, according to Reuters, in the US according to The New York Times, and maybe even in a dozen more countries.

The symptoms are

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea

Please seek a doctor immediately if you are having any of the above-mentioned issues. Stay away from people to stop the spread if you have any symptoms. We highly recommend consulting a doctor if you are feeling sick and get treated as early as possible.

Currently, the Delta Plus is being dealt with care as there’s a fear, if ignored it might blow up too. Though it is currently unclear on the effect the mutation will have on the current Covid-19 cases. Even if you’re vaccinated we suggest you have your Mask On every time, be careful and frequently Sanitize for your own safety.
