For the past year and a half, the Corona epidemic has been a global crisis. Corona has claimed millions of lives so far. Even today, many live in fear of corona infection. Vaccination is the only option available to control corona.

Various variants of the Coronavirus epidemic have increased the risk of infection. Now, another variant has come to the fore, which has raised the concerns of experts. According to the World Health Organization, the Delta variant of the Corona has recently entered many countries around the world.

A team of scientists studying a new variant of the Corona has warned people about a new and dangerous variant. Concerns have been raised over the past few days in the United States over the discovery of a new variant of the corona virus, R.1.

Scientists say that at present, the number of patients with this new variant is very low. But people need to be especially careful. The way this new variant has been found seems to be very contagious. Let's learn about the new variant R.1 of Corona.

According to reports, the Corona variant R.1 is not new. This variant was first introduced in Japan last year. Since then this variant has been growing in other countries of the world. So far, patients with this variant have been found in about 35 countries in the United States.

According to the information received, more than 10,000 patients around the world are stuck in the clutches of this variant. This variant of the corona could be dangerous, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's weekly CDC report. But people who have been vaccinated.

According to researchers studying the variant, R.1 is a new variant of the SARS COV2 virus that has been found to have a number of mutations. In other words, like any new strain, R.1 causes people to experience different symptoms compared to the original corona virus.

This can be more contagious depending on the type of variant. There is still more study and research to be done on this. The CDC has so far not included it in the variant of concern or group of interest. Researchers are currently studying this.

In the last few months, more and more patients with corona have been diagnosed with this variant. They can affect the antibodies made in the body. Whether any variant can survive vaccine safety depends on the set of mutations available in it.

According to the research done so far on the R.1 variant, the body can easily overcome the immunity created by the vaccine. But research and study are needed to know more about this. So nothing concrete can be said.

The symptoms of R. 1 variant are being studied by researchers. Symptoms are similar to those found in other variants of the Corona. At present, it is necessary to get vaccinated as soon as possible to be safe from the new variants.
