Scientists in the United States have warned that a more powerful and contagious version of the coronavirus has been found. A team of U.S. researchers working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States has claimed that this powerful strain of coronavirus has already spread worldwide.

The scientists published their 33-page report on a portal called BioRxiv. It has not yet been reviewed by peer-reviewed or other scientists. However, during this crisis, many research reports are being published without peer-review.

The research report, released on Thursday, said the new strain of the virus appeared in Europe in February. Meanwhile, it is the strongest strain of the coronavirus since mid-March. "The virus not only spreads rapidly, but can infect healthy patients in the first phase as well as in the second phase," the report said.

Scientists said that the outer thorny part of the virus has changed. As a result, the virus can now easily enter the human respiratory tract. The authors of the report further said that this warning is aimed at making the world aware. So that scientists can prepare for this deadly strain in the development of a global vaccine. However, nothing is known about how the virus became more powerful than its predecessors.

"It's very worrying that the virus is spreading so fast," the team leader wrote on his Facebook page.
