These videos on medical topics were designed to empower the knowledge of the general public on medical topics. 
This  educational video is compiled under the major topic of “ROLLBACK COVID” or minimizing the adverse effects of the current COVID- 19 on human beings.This video presentation is on the New mutant strain of Coronavirus (Subtopic). This new strain is 70 percent more contagious, but less virulent. Although the percentage of deaths is low, the total number of patients and deaths can be higher than the existing figures. The available vaccines should still be efficient. The most up-to-date statistics report the spread of the new variant in about 50 countries, including three mutant variants.
