Scientists in Bangladesh have reported a new Covid-19 strain, which is a bit similar to the one found in the UK recently.
Analysing data in early November, a team of Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research observed new mutations in novel coronavirus strains. We observed that one new strain was almost similar to the one found in the United Kingdom. It was not 100 percent the same. We will start working on it again, Dr Selim Khan, principal scientific officer at the BCSIR and also the head of the team, told The Daily Star yesterday.
Talking to this reporter later in the day, BCSIR Chairman Prof Md Aftab Ali Shaikh advised people not to panic and said the research was still underway.
