The Indian Ministry of Health has warned the authorities of the densely populated states of Maharashtra, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh of the dangers of the newest identified strain of coronavirus, dubbed Delta Plus. This is another variation of the “delta” variant, which mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced the distribution of in Moscow the other day.
In a statement released by the Indian government's press service, it is said that the research results were provided by the INSACOG Science Center, which is studying COVID-19. According to scientists from several dozen Indian laboratories, “delta plus” is indeed a matter of serious concern, since it differs from the previous strain in its higher spreading rate and the ability to more strongly affect lung cells. Also, scientists admitted that the new strain will be able to overcome the protection created by antibodies.

In this regard, the authorities of a number of Indian cities were recommended to strengthen anti-cactus measures, increase the volume of testing and vaccinations. It is also proposed to additionally examine those infected with the newest strain.
The Indian strain of the coronavirus, dubbed “delta”, was discovered in India last October. Since that time, it has spread throughout the world, including it was revealed in Russia. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on June 18 that almost 90% of COVID-19 patients in Moscow had an Indian strain.
Previously, director of the Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology named after V.I. Gamaleya, where the Sputnik V vaccine was developed, Alexander Gunzburg said that the danger of the Indian strain is that it has a different pattern of interaction with our cells. “It does not destroy cells, but spreads, passing from one cell to another, forming multinucleated cells, thus, when it has already penetrated inside, it becomes very resistant to antibodies that circulate in the blood, this is his trick,” said Gunzburg …
At the same time, the scientist assured that the stock of antibodies after vaccination with “Sputnik V” is high enough to protect against all known strains of coronavirus infection.
