What is the new type of corona?
A new strain of corona virus (Covid-19) was found in the southeastern part of the UK in December. It is found to be 50 percent more contagious than the common corona. Experts warn that many people could be affected by the rapid spread. The other effects, however, are similar to those of a normal corona. However, experts say that further study is needed to reach a conclusion.
How did the new type come out?
According to experts, the virus is becoming more powerful over time due to weather, favorable environment or other reasons. The process by which a virus transforms itself is called a mutation. Scientists have said that the corona virus in the body of a weak person has become more powerful and when the same virus is transmitted to another person, a new type may have formed. Another type of corona was also seen in South Africa. Many countries have banned travel to the UK and South Africa since the new Corona was introduced.
How to move?
The new type of corona is also highly contagious due to its airborne spread. Although the simple corona spreads a little less from the air, the new type spreads more from the air. Although this is a preliminary estimate. So far this has not been confirmed. According to scientists, new types can be avoided by following the criteria of wearing a mask, maintaining physical distance, and using a sanitizer.
