No direct relation between COVID Cases surge in Maharashtra & some other States and mutant strains N440K and E484Q: ICMR
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare:
There is no direct relation between the recent surge in COVID19 cases in Maharashtra and some other States with the mutant virus strains N440K and E484Q of COVID19.
This was clarified by Dr Balram Bhargava, Director General, ICMR at the weekly Press Conference on COVID19, here today.
DG, ICMR further clarified that these two virus strains have been detected in other countries too and are not specific to India.
Moreover, they have been found earlier in some States in India.
The E484Q strain was earlier detected in four sequences in Maharashtra in as early as March and July 2020.
The N440K mutation has been reported on 13 different occasions between May and September 2020 in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Assam.
The current upsurge in Maharashtra cannot be attributed to the currently discussed point mutations.
However, the situation is being constantly monitored. As further scientific evidence emerges, it shall be duly shared.

Whether it is Hathras, Mathura or Bundelkhand, all the videos that have come out show the condition of cows, they’re getting neither fodder, nor water: Priyanka Gandhi
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi addresses Kisan Panchayat in Pali Khera, Mathura, UP. Excerpts. via INC India:
Farmers have been fighting for their rights, sitting on Delhi’s borders for 90 days, 215 farmers were martyred. The govt cut their electricity supply, water supply, beat them up but did not hear them out
The Prime Minister, who has travelled to every corner of the world during his tenure, could not reach the borders of Delhi
What has changed since then? This government had made all sorts of promises that your income will double, sugarcane farmers will get their dues but they did nothing for you:
Have you seen the condition of gaushalas here? Whether it is Hathras, here (in Mathura) or Bundelkhand, all the videos that have come out show the condition of cows, they’re getting neither fodder, nor water
Airports, ports, LIC, Air India, Bharat Petroleum all are being sold as per the budget this time
When they raised the prices of petrol and diesel, they again blamed Congress and said that we had to increase the prices because they (Congress) did not increase it earlier
This nation is watching the govt sell everything and today the country is raising its voice against it, the farmer is fighting for his rights. The fight will go on until the black agricultural laws are repealed
I have come to tell you that as long as you keep fighting, I will keep on fighting, the Congress Party stands with you, we are with you in your struggle, in your pain and grief
