The new variant of coronavirus is named "VUI 202012/01". It includes a genetic mutation in the "spike" protein that can lead to easy and immediate spread of the virus, making it deadlier. This new variant has 17 mutations that affect the shape of the virus, including the spike protein from which the coronavirus family gets its name. With the new variant of the virus, the three most common symptoms of fever, dry cough and loss of smell and taste remain the same. But there are seven other symptoms that have been associated with the new variant. The symptoms include fatigue, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, headache, muscle pain and mental confusion.

The mutation of the virus has made it easy to enter the human cells, which makes children more prone to getting infected and equally susceptible to the virus as adults. With the new strain in the picture, we might see more children getting infected with the virus.
