Delta Plus Covid19
Delta Plus is a sub-lineage of the Delta variant first detected in India, which has acquired the spike protein mutation called K417N.
Indian virologist said the K417N was known to reduce the effectiveness of a cocktail of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies.
For the moment, this variant does not seem to be common, currently accounting for only a small fraction of the Delta sequence.
Delta and other circulating Variants of Concern remain a higher public health risk as they have demonstrated increases in transmission.
SYMPTOMS
Dry cough, diarrhoea, fever, headache, skin rash, discoloration of fingers and toes, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
