New Delhi: The world is on high alert against the new variant ‘XE’, which includes the Omicron subspecies spread by Kovid. The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a warning about XE yesterday. There were reports that Delta and Omicon had been confirmed (Deltacron) in the same person who had been infected by Kovid. The XE variant is similar to Omicron’s BA1 and BA2 subdivisions.
Although as devastating as the delta, it was the ‘BA2’ subdivision of the Omicron variant that raised cases sharply in countries including India. The mysterious version of Omikron has been described as the cause of the spread of the third wave in India.
The warning is that the ‘XE’ variant is 10 times more pervasive than the BA2 subdivision. However, experts say that this does not cause the disease to worsen and the spread will end soon.
