COVID-19: Mutated variant more infectious than original strain, says AIIMS chief Dr Randeep Guleria

Dr Randeep Guleria, Director, AIIMS
Explaining the reason behind the drastic increase in COVID-19 cases across the country, Dr Randeep Guleria, Director, AIIMS, said on Sunday that the mutated variant of SARS-CoV-2 is far more infectious than the original strain. Dr Guleria, however, also pointed out the careless approach of the citizens is also playing a major role in the spread of the virus.
Speaking about as to how the mutated variant is more infectious, Dr Guleria told TOI: We have observed that one primary patient (index case) is able to affect more people this time. During the earlier peak, one patient could spread the disease to 30 to 40 percent of his or her contacts. This time, it has been observed that 80 to 90 % people who come in contact with a patient turn positive. Dr Guleria also said that there were multiple instances where the whole family had tested positive for COVID-19.

Explaining as to how careless approach of citizens is aiding the rise in cases, Dr Guleria added: During the first peak, when daily cases were much less, people were following COVID-19 appropriate behavior. There was less crowding. Now, people are less adherent to the preventive measures even as cases are rising exponentially and the hospitals are running full.
