The British Minister of Health warns: The Indian soybean is 40% more contagious than the British
The British Minister of Health, Matt Hancock, said that the Indian strain of the covid-19 virus, or as it is now called, the "delta variant", is 40% more contagious than the British strain.
This is a possible reason for the further extension of the measures in Britain, which had a plan from June 21 to completely relax the measures. According to the Guardian, the decision to relax the measures will be made by the end of the week.
"Because of the delta variant, it is now much more difficult to control the virus, but the most important thing is to be safe after both doses of vaccines as we were from the previous strain." "The good news is that vaccines are equally beneficial for this type of virus." said Hancock.
A patient with this Indian strain was hospitalized in one of our private hospitals when he returned to Iraq last week.
