Mask wearing, and following precautions diligently is the only way to fully safeguard yourself.
Whether or not it causes more severe symptoms is uncertain too. Yet, many believe it to be less likely to be more infectious than the UK variant.
SUPER STRAIN DEFINITION SKIN
However, as new mutations are being noticed, many suspect that the virus has gotten smarter in the ways it launches an attack on our body.įor example, some studies have established that the virus can quickly escape immune defences present along some vital organs, and unleash an attack in more impactful ways.įever, which is not predominantly seen with ALL cases carrying the original strain is considered to be a more severely seen symptom in cases tested positive for the new mutation.Ĭertain other symptoms such as hearing loss, muscle pain, skin infections and distorted vision, which are otherwise scarcely observed may be more common with the newer strains.Īs for the double mutant virus, scientists are still studying to establish the manifestations. The classic signs and symptoms of the COVID-causing virus include a cough, fever, pain and more predominantly, impaired sense of smell. While the E484Q mutation is domestic, the L452R mutation was traced back to the US.
The double mutant variant, first identified in the state of Maharashtra is considered to be a cross between E484Q and L452R mutations. The three infamous COVID variants which are said to carry the most risks- ones which have emerged from Kent, UK ( B.1.1.7 variant), South Africa (B.1.351 variant) and Brazil (B.1.1.28.1 or P.1 variant) are all variations of the original virus strain.Ī double mutation, however, emerges when two mutations of a virus strain come together to form a third, super infectious strain. The mutations can also have a difference in genomic sequencing, which may allow them to surpass, or attach themselves to the healthy cells more profoundly. A virus with one or more new mutations is referred to as a “variant” of the original virus. These changes, by definition, are called “mutations”. According to the WHO, a virus replicates or makes copies of itself, which is usual. Viruses and other pathogens are known to mutate and differentiate by nature.
