Medics attend to COVID-19 patients at Shehnai Banquet Hall, temporarily converted into an isolation ward, as coronavirus cases surge across the country in New Delhi, India.
The mutant strain was found in samples in Bengal, and may have evolved from preexisting double mutations.
Researchers say this could affect vaccine efficacy.
Scientists found two triple-mutant varieties in patient samples in four states: Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal, and Chhattisgarh. Researchers in the country have dubbed it the Bengal strain and say it has the potential to be even more infectious than the double-mutant variant.
