A new strain of corona virus has emerged in a few other countries, including the United States and India, which has alarmed scientists. 

The virus appears to be spreading rapidly. Matthew Bannicker, director of clinical virology at the Mayo Clinic in the US state of Minnesota, said it was too early to reach a final conclusion. 

"In India in particular, the rate of spread of the virus indicates that it is spreading rapidly," he said, adding that it was yet to be determined whether the rate of spread of the virus was high. 

Whether it is more than A5 variant or not. Lepi Thakral, a scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology in Delhi, said the new strain of corona virus has been reported in remote states of the country. 

The virus has been reported in ten countries, including Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada.

Three similar cases of corona have been reported in the United States in recent days. 

However, experts say the vaccine and its booster doses are still the best defense against the corona virus. 

According to Matthew Bannicker, director of clinical virology at the Mayo Clinic, "some people say that despite vaccinations and booster doses, people are still infected with the virus." 

However, we found that it reduced hospital admissions and deaths.
