Japan in the grip of the terrible Lamda

Desk report: Lamda, a type of coronavirus from Peru, has now set foot in Japan. Last Friday (August 6), the country’s health ministry announced the first case of lambda infection. The Japan Times reported that a woman had been infected with the lambda variant. He is 30 years old. He arrived at Haneda Airport in Japan from Peru on July 20. He tested positive for corona while at the airport. But there were no signs of corona in him. The country’s National Institute of Infectious Diseases has confirmed that the virus is lambda. According to the company, the Lamda variant was identified in Peru in August 2020. It then spread to South America. However, it is more contagious and powerful than other variants. The lambda vaccine can also survive. But more information about it remains to be known. Meanwhile, another type of corona, Delta, is wreaking havoc on the world. The new lambda is raising concerns around the world. Last Thursday (August 5) a record number of critically ill patients with covid were admitted to hospital in Japan compared to last June. Earlier on Wednesday (August 4th), Japanese researchers described the variant as “worrying”. They say this variant is going to be a threat to us. Its horrors may spread in the future. We should understand this. However, the World Health Organization sees this variant as ‘curious’. At that time, experts did not give much importance to this new type. But in the last few months lambda has started to spread. Scientists in Japan say there is no time to look at Lamda as a ‘curiosity’. They said that the new version found in Latin America has spread not only in South America, but also in North America. According to GISAID, a global science initiative, lambda has spread 41 infections in eight South American countries and around the world. Experts say the third wave of corona is coming in a few months. But many countries have not yet been able to overcome the second wave.
