Scientists have grouped the Indian variant into three separate sub-strains, with type 2 quickly spreading in the UK. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said today that tracking of the Indian variant will be 'absolutely ruthless'. Public Health England has divided the Indian variant into three sub-types because they aren't identical. Health experts have said they 'haven't seen any hint' of a Covid variant that can fully evade the effectiveness of vaccines. The update comes after MailOnline revealed this week that the Indian Covid variants now make up one in 10 cases in London.
