Is the mutation in the virus making it more dangerous? The corona virus which has caused havoc all over the world at this time, but it is not the koranavirus that first emerged from China.

Officially known as Sars-CoV-2, the virus, which is infecting people around the world, is mutating.

Being mutated means a change in the genetic material of the virus. Scientists have seen thousands of mutations in this virus. However, there is only one mutation that indicates a change in behavior of this virus.

So can this mutation make the virus more dangerous and fatal? Does the success of the vaccine with which we are expecting also threaten it?

Scientists have observed a mutation called D614G which is present in the 'spike' of the virus and with which the virus enters our cells.

After spreading in the Chinese city of Wuhan, it is estimated that this mutation of the virus was found in Italy. The same mutation is now found in 97 percent of the world's sample.
