As the Delta strain continues to spread, researchers have identified another new strain – the C.1.2 COVID-19 variant – primarily in South Africa along with seven other countries in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Here’s what we know so far and you should also know now..

C.1.2 COVID-19 variant was first detected in May in South Africa. Since then, the variant has been found in seven other countries. (Image: News18 Creative)
So far, the virus has not fulfilled the WHO criteria to qualify as a ‘variant of concern’ or ‘variant of interest’. (Image: News18 Creative)
It was detected far earlier than other COVID-19 variants. While previous strains were already widely circulating when scientists began to research them, the C.1.2 mutation began to be characterized when there were only 100 recorded cases. (Image: News18 Creative
Many COVID-19 variants are very fragile and disappear before becoming a problem. The key mutants are the ones that survive the changes and outcompete the variants of the past. (Image: News18 Creative)
A ‘fitter’ variant is a variant that has gained some mutations which allow it to replicate faster and get into cells more efficiently. (Image: News18 Creative)
