In India, a new train of Covid-19 found in Britain has been detected. In the meantime, there was a news from the Tata Memorial Centre which has raised the concern even more. The infection of Covid-19 with E484K mutation has been found in three patients of Mumbai Metropolitan Region at the Tata Memorial Centre in Junha Kharghar.

The mutation is one of the three. The centre's team had a gene sequence of 700 samples. After their sequence, this mutation has been found in three.
Britain's new Covid-19 is believed to be responsible for the second wave of the Covid-19 infection in Europe, according to information found. The virus found in South Africa is more terrifying than the new strain of Corona in the UK.
