Claim: CCMB finds a dangerous strain of COVID-19 in Telangana.
Fact-check: CCMB clarified that there is no data yet to conclude whether the new COVID-19 virus strain (Clade A3i) is less or more dangerous - FACTLY
Verdict: while it is true that ccmb has found a distinct cluster of virus population , they have not mentioned anything about its efficacy. as the article went viral, the ccmb has clarified that there is no data yet to conclude whether the new virus population  is less or more dangerous than the other virus population among indians. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
