Careless use of therapies may lead to mutations, says ICMR

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) warned against non-judicious use of therapies that have not been established for treating Covid-19 because it can lead to immune pressure on SARS-CoV2 virus, which may result in mutations. Non-judicious use of therapies that have not been established for Covid-19 treatment are responsible for putting “immune pressure on virus” and leads to virus mutations, he said.
