    India reports 14 new cases of mutant coronavirus strain
  • India has reported 14 new cases of the mutated strain of the coronavirus first detected in the United Kingdom.

    Combined with the first six cases confirmed on Tuesday, India has now reported a total of 20 cases involving the new "more infectious" strain.

    With eight of the total 20 cases, Delhi has reported the most number of infections, followed by Bengaluru (7).

  • First detected in the UK in September, the new strain is said to be as much as 70% more infectious.

    However, experts say there is no evidence that the mutation causes the virus to become more deadly or cause a more severe infection.

    There is also no evidence to suggest that the vaccines developed against COVID-19 will not work against the mutated strain.

    Last week, the government had unveiled detailed guidelines for the tracking and isolation of the new coronavirus variant.
