Web Desk -The new strain of coronavirus discovered in the UK is 64% more deadly than the worldwide strain of coronavirus.
This has been confirmed in a recent research report.
This type of coronavirus is one of the many strains that have ever been found in the countries most affected by the global epidemic.
British Medical Journal Data
The University of Exeter study, published in the British Medical Journal, compared data from 55,000 infected people.The data was compiled from information on severely affected people in the community rather than hospitals.

According to the French news agency AFP, the data was collected from October last year to January this year, for a total of 68 days.
Participants were included in the comparison by age, gender and their race.
Research has shown that a new type of virus called one-one-seven can cause more than 64% of deaths.
Affected people may have a higher mortality rate of 4.1% compared to 2.5 per thousand compared to other types.
British Virus
Talking about the British virus, Simon Clark, an assistant professor of cellular microbiology at the University of Reading, says its lethality and rapid spread have posed a new challenge to public health systems and policymakers.
In this situation, he says, it is now clear to everyone how important it is for people to be vaccinated.
Another expert, Michael Head, a senior researcher at Global Health at the University of Southampton, says the higher the code in the world, the greater the risk of new strains.According to him, even some types of vaccination can be affected.
Vaccine Companies Drugs
Vaccine companies that have come forward so far say their drugs have been effective against most strains of the corona virus, including the British strain.
But the type of virus found in South Africa has raised concerns that some species may be able to escape the human body's immune system.
