BHUBANESWAR: At a time when the State government is grappling with the second wave of Covid-19, fuelled by the double mutant, emergence of a triple mutant strain in the poll-bound West Bengal has put Odisha on high alert. In a bid to monitor people travelling from West Bengal, the government on Thursday directed collectors of Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts to put up border check posts (BCP) on all inter-state roads (NH/SH and local roads) along the border of neighbouring state with immediate effect.

KOLKATA: The Covid-19 virus that is doing the rounds in Bengal is increasingly being found to be an indigenous triple-mutation (B.1.618), only the second one identified from India after the double mutant type (B.1.617) reported last month.
The “Bengal strain”, as a scientist has dubbed it, might be more infective, and something that experts find particularly worrying may be capable of escaping a person’s immune surveillance, even if that person was earlier exposed to a virus without this mutation, and even if vaccinated. There has, however, been no research yet to either corroborate or dismiss the fears.
