Core Tip	The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 virus is constantly evolving because to natural immunity and vaccine-induced immunity which exert continual immunological pressure, resulting in the generation of newer variants and numerous new mutations. This study detailed the many variants of concern, including their transmissibility, severity, and immune-evasion capacities. We have also discussed several key mutations and their consequences. The tables summarized the major points of the paper and provided a full discussion of the important mutations found in these variants of concern. Readers will benefit from our article's concise overview of these areas.
