Kappa Variant Case Found in Jakarta, Get to Know This Mutation!

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV One case of a new variant of the Corona virus was found in Jakarta. This variant is B.1.617.1 or Kappa Variant.

This case is the first case discovered in Jakarta. This information was conveyed by University of Indonesia Epidemiologist Pandu Riono via his personal Twitter account.

"Deltaforce aka the Delta Mutant dominates Jakarta, 87%, from 128 sample cases. It is not surprising that the spike will be high if population activity is still high and 3M behavior is very low. The rapid spike is determined by Human Behavior and the Character of the Virus. Maximum tightening is needed," said Pandu Riono.

In his upload he also displayed data that there were several cases of the Delta variant, 11 cases of the Alpha variant, 5 cases of the Beta variant and 1 case of the Kappa variant found in Jakarta.

The Kappa variant was documented in October 2020 in India.

However, the Kappa variant is not listed as a variant of concern or a variant of concern according to the World Health Organization or WHO.

On the other hand, WHO classifies the Kappa variant as a variant of interest. However, the Kappa variant also has the ability to spread very quickly and is potentially deadly.
