“COVID-19: Triple mutation strain of virus raises concern all over the world”

In the last 24 hours, the Department of Health noticed an increase on the

number of cases and deaths caused by the new COVID-19 variant. Because of the
increase of cases caused by the new variant, it became a cause of concerns. This
new variant of COVID-19 has triple mutations, which means that three different
strains of COVID-19 have combined to form the new variant. This variant is more
dangerous than the others because it is more transmissible, meaning that it
spreads at a higher rate than the other variants. The cause of this mutation is
because the more a virus spreads, the more it replicates and the more it mutates.
Following this logic, the virus will become more deadly if it is going to spread
further. Because it is more dangerous than the other variants, our country is not
the only one raising concern about this new variant, but all the countries also.
