      The Covid surge in the country is due to a new strain and the situation is exactly like the one in the UK when the virus underwent a mutation around Christmas, AIIMS chief Dr Randeep Guleria has said.

      Speaking to NDTV, Dr Guleria said: "It is likely that there is a variant which is causing the virus to be more infectious and this is part of what we tend to see". The government has so far maintained that there is no evidence that the surge is linked to a mutation of the coronavirus.

      On Tuesday, the government had said that the Covid situation is going from "bad to worse over the last few weeks" and "any complacency at this stage, and at any level, will have heavy costs".
