The Hindu  

The number of persons who have tested positive for the new U.K. variant of SARS-CoV-2 in the country has climbed to 71, the Union Health Ministry said on Wednesday. “The total number of cases infected with the new strain of the novel coronavirus first reported in the U.K. now stands at 71,” the Ministry said. The Indian government took cognisance of the reports of the virus reported from the U.K. and put in place a proactive and preventive strategy to detect and contain the mutant variant, it said. All international passengers who have arrived in India between December 9 and 22, if symptomatic and positive for COVID-19, would be subjected to genome sequencing as part of the Centre’s strategy to detect the mutated U.K. variant, the Ministry added.
