Coronavirus strain, discovered in India and began to actively spread in other regions of the world, appeared as a result of two mutations, writes “Medicphorum”.
Fever, cough, fatigue, loss of taste and smell remain among the most demonstrative symptoms of the disease. However, the new strain also has new symptoms that more resemble colds.
The disease can be felt as a cold or some discomfort, resembling an allergic reaction or polynosis. “Any feeling that seems atypical, strange, is a good reason to isolate and pass the test,” said Professor of the Genetic Epidemiology of the Royal College of London Tim Spector.
The new version of COVID-19 also has a more powerful infectious potential that allows it to be easier to penetrate the body, overcoming the resistance of the immune system.
Previously, the Deputy Director for Clinical and Analytical Work of the Central Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor Natalia Wheat stated that the youth is the main distributor of the Indian strain of coronavirus in Russia. She explained that it was not possible to avoid the growth of COVID-19 disease due to mass ignoring the prophylaxis of coronavirus. According to her, young people, as the most active part of the population, contributes to the spread of the Indian strain in different age groups.
