Mysore/Mysuru: After vehement denials by the District Administration and the District Health Officer (DHO) about the presence of the Delta Plus variant of COVID-19 in Mysuru, it has now come to light that in fact Mysuru is the first district in Karnataka that has reported the deadly variant. Health Minister Dr. K. Sudhakar himself revealed in Bengaluru yesterday about the B.1.617.2.1 variant being found in Mysuru.
What is alarming is that today, three more Delta variants have been detected in Mysuru and the same has been confirmed by National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru, where the samples had been sent. Though these are plain Delta variants and not the Delta Plus variant, the detection of three more cases has caused concern among public.
