‘Not much data to suggest Delta Plus variant more infectious’

Addressing concerns about the Delta Plus variant, labelled variant of concern, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) director Dr Randeep Guleria said that there is not much data to suggest that this new Delta strain is more infectious, leads to more fatalities or has developed immune escape mechanism, ANI reported.

Reiterating strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols, he said, “There isn’t much data on Delta plus variant to suggest it’s more infectious, causing more deaths, or has developed significant immune escape mechanism. But if we follow COVID appropriate behaviour, we’ll be safe against any of emerging variants.”
