On Friday, January 28,2022, Scientists from Wuhan of China has warned that a new variant of Covid-19 called NeoCov discovered in South Africa has a very high rate of transmission and could cause more deaths among people.

The reports also stated that the new virus is not new as it is associated with the virus that emerged in Middle Eastern countries in 2012 and 2015 called MERS-CoV. As per the experts, the virus has resembled with the SRAS-CoV-2 which is reason of Infection of the Covid-19 virus.
