New challenge after increasing cases in China, a combination of two strains of Omicron

Worrying news has started coming once again regarding the global pandemic Corona. After spreading a new wave in China and rapidly increasing the number of patients, now there is a stir in Israel with a new variant of Corona.

This is the new variant by combining two variants of Omicron. Nothing is clear about its name and symptoms and measures to deal with it. However, on Wednesday, Israel has confirmed getting a new Kovid variant.

The new variant Omicron found in Israel is said to be a mix of BA.1 and BA.2. This variant has been found in two teenagers who arrived at Ben Gurion Airport on a flight. This new variant has not been named yet. Both teenagers experienced mild symptoms of fever, headache and muscle aches.

Israel's Ministry of Health says that research is going on regarding the new variant. Nachman Asch, Director General of the Ministry of Health, says that it may have flourished in Israel itself? Could it be that both the passengers were already infected before boarding the plane?

How worrying is the new variant? Regarding this, Israeli experts say that it is common for two strains to form a third variant. When two viruses from the same cell meet, they multiply and share genetic properties. In this way new virus is born. Nothing can be said about how dangerous or worrying these are.

Let us tell you, Omicron was found in South Africa last year. It is considered to be the fastest-spreading infection of the corona, although the number of deaths and infections due to it has been much less than the delta variant. Now it has to be seen whether the new variant consisting of two strains of Omicron blooms in Israel and how effective anti-corona vaccines are in preventing it.
