The second wave of the corona is not over yet. Its daily affairs continue to fluctuate. According to the Ministry of Health, more than 45 thousand new cases of corona infection have been reported in the last 24 hours.

It is reported that the Kappa variant of Corona has been found for the first time in Uttar Pradesh.

Kappa Variant arose from the mutation of the B.1.617 lineage of the corona, which is also responsible for the delta variant.
