10 times more infectious strain found
Malaysia has detected a strain of the new coronavirus that’s been found to be 10 times more infectious.
The mutation, earlier seen in other parts of the world and called D614G, was found in at least three of the 45 cases in a cluster that started from a restaurant owner returning from India and breaching his 14-day home quarantine. The man has since been sentenced to five months in prison and fined. The strain was also found in another cluster involving people returning from the Philippines.

OMG where do we go to if D614G strikes India. We have been following the Protocol to prevent the spread of Virus personally and in the society . Is there any new & effective methods found to contain other than Mask wearing , Social distancing , washing hands & face hetting back home ? I think the Govt. will have to put on hold the opening of many places where large groups gather till the vacciine arrives . more
