India has today recorded over 260,000 new covid cases with over 15% positivity rate.
There is a new Indian covid variant called B-1617 with double mutations. It is more infectious and deadlier than all the previously identified variants.
With the kumbh mela going on without any restrictions, there is a chance for many more variants with mutations that may jump the immune capabilities developed either through earlier infections, or through vaccinations. This variant is already suspected to avoid immune response.
77 cases of this new Indian variant have already reached the UK.
My request to government (if anyone really cares about Pakistanis and not his/ her own family living in other countries).. Please ban travel to all the countries that have not banned travelers from India.. Also, government of Pakistan must ban all travel to and from UK.
I believe I am not asking for too much.. I don't live in Pakistan, but I am really concerned about my fellow Pakistanis.. specially when there is a question mark on the capacity..
I don't think the pandemic is going away anytime soon with Indian variants entering...
