The ICMR will study whether the deadly coronavirus strain has mutated in India while spreading within the country in the last 2 months. Determining whether the virus strain has changed form will help in ensuring the effectiveness of a potential vaccine. The study will also show if it has become more virulent and has increased transmission capability. This study can be initiated only when the lockdown is lifted.
