How dangerous is the Indian variant of the coronavirus?

 

 -- 

 The WHO has labeled a subtype of the COVID-19 virus first discovered in India as a "variant of concern." B.16-17.2 is thought to spread more easily. 

The subtype is responsible for the majority of new cases in parts of England. Germany has banned all travelers from the U-K, except its own residents, due to concerns about the strain. 

 But there is some good news.: The vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and AstraZeneca are thought to be highly effective against the variant, after two doses.

La temida variante india ya se encuentra en más de 40 países. Es más contagiosa y disminuye algo la eficacia de las vacunas.

 En Europa se teme que pueda frenar la desescalada. Reino Unido ya cuenta con más de 3.000 casos.
