In a new development of the Corona virus, Russian media reported the emergence of a new mutant strain of the new Corona virus in Russia.

The Russian media agency explained that Russia recorded some cases of a new mutant strain of the corona virus thought to be more contagious than the delta mutant, which first appeared in India before spreading to many countries around the world.

The information agency quoted Camille Khavezov, a peer researcher at the Consumer Protection Authority, a government body, as saying that the breed, called "A.W.I. 2.4," is likely to spread over

 This could lead to a rise in new cases of COVID-19, which have already reached record levels in Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed this week to close the premises for a week at the beginning of next November, after daily corona - related deaths across Russia recorded a new record of 1028 and 34,073 new infections.

In Australia, scientists discovered a new mutation of the originally mutated delta virus in the south-eastern state of New South Wales.

Researchers observed a change in the genetic sequence of the rapidly spreading type "delta" corona virus in at least 8 patients, state health authorities have announced.

The New South Wales Chief Health Officer, Kerry Shant, said that "the genome sequence in 8 infected people revealed a new variant of highly contagious delta mutant, which has caused Sydney to close in the past 12 weeks."
