Kathmandu, A new strain of corona virus has been found in Vietnam, the Vietnamese news agency VN Express reported on Sunday, citing government officials.

A new type of corona virus developed in Vietnam has been claimed to be a combination of British and Indian variants. The new strain of the virus is a more dangerous virus that can spread quickly through the air, said a Vietnamese health official.

Vietnam's health minister, Nguyen Thanh, said the virus was highly contagious. The genetic code of the new variant has not been made public.

Since the corona virus was first detected in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019, it has changed thousands of times, weakening it and making it more dangerous.
