Is there actually a new Covid Variant?

Philippines
August 5, 2021 9:29am CST
I don't know how true the news that there is a new Covid Variant which they call Delta plus. And according to some twitter users who spread the info of the new variant is more deadly. I was not aware of anything related to the new variant so I'm hoping if anyone knows what are the symptoms? Most tweets only said there's a new variant but no more other information. Kindly please tell me. At this moment our government and DOH here only states about the delta variant but not about delta plus variant. And news about delta plus variant are very little. Thank you. And Take care everyone.

All I can say is: just in case, keep your mask on, wash your hands with soap and keep a social distance no matter what.

This is more dangerous, the symptom is that people can't breathe.

Oh no! Hopefully vaccines can keep up, I've seen news that Oxygen Tanks are slowly being limited in every country.

I don't know much about this variant but people say this is more deadly. It's said that vaccine would not be much effective but all these are speculation and pray we don't face this at all.
