Staff Reporter: New coronavirus is spreading in the United States. The number of new coronavirus cases is doubling every nine days. The name of this new virus is B.1.1.7.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) expects the new strain to spread by March. Then it will be considered as the main virus of corona in the United States. The CDC report was compiled by a number of researchers and experts.
The number of victims of the new strain in the United States is not very high at the moment. 187 in Florida and 145 in California. But the survey report said measures should be taken immediately to stop this new strain. Otherwise, the situation in the United States will get worse. Because this strain is 35 to 45 percent more contagious.
The number of coronavirus cases in the United States has dropped since early January. But the death rate is still high enough. On an average, 3,000 people are still dying from corona every day. The pressure on the hospital is also high. In this situation, the survey report has raised the concerns of health officials.
Corona is now being vaccinated in the United States. But all vaccines are designed to prevent the spread of the virus. It was initially claimed that the current vaccines could prevent new strains. But in South Africa it has failed to stop the new strain. Even after being vaccinated, some people in Germany have contracted corona. As a result, the concerns of health officials have increased.
