The 'Delta Plus' form can have a greater effect on lung tissue than other forms of corona virus. According to Dr. NK Arora, head of the National Technical Advisory Division on Covid-19 NTAGI immunization, this does not mean that it will cause serious disease or that it is more contagious.
The corona virus Delta Plus form was detected on June 11. Recently it has been classified as a ‘thought form’. So far, 51 cases of Delta Plus have been reported in 12 states of the country. Maharashtra has the highest number of cases of this form. Regarding the 'Delta Plus' variant, the head of NTAGI's Kovid-19 Task Group said that it has a higher relationship with the lungs than other forms, but made it clear that Delta Plus would cause serious disease or be more contagious.
"More presence has been found in the lungs than other variants of Delta Plus, but it's not yet certain whether it could cause more damage," Aurora said. This does not mean that it will cause serious illness or that it is more contagious. He said the picture would be clearer about the effectiveness of Delta Plus after identifying a few more cases, but that there were mild signs of infection among people who had taken one or both doses of the vaccine. "We have to keep a very close eye on its spread so that we can prevent it from spreading," he said.
