Omicron Variant Of Coronavirus

Scientists have warned that a "more contagious" variant of Covid-19, dubbed XEC, is spreading more rapidly across Europe and could soon become the dominant strain.

Scientists at the institute have developed a new nanovaccine that shows promise in providing universal protection against all major Covid-19 variants.

Omicron and its sub-lineages continue to be the dominant coronavirus variants in India, Minister of State for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar told the Lok Sabha on Friday.

Four cases of Omicron subvariant BF.7 were detected in West Bengal, a health official said on Wednesday.

2022 saw a new wave of infections driven by the Omicron variant of coronavirus which ultimately subsided, putting India along with the world on the route to normalcy before fresh concerns arose amid rise in cases globally at the fag end of the year.

Allaying fears about BF.7 variant of coronavirus, a prominent scientist on Friday said it is a sub-variant of Omicron strain and that India need not worry too much about its severity on the population.

Rising Covid cases in China are mainly driven by the BF.7 strain of Omicron variant of coronavirus, which has been detected in India too. Numbers may be small but here is why the government is worried, and what you should be alert to.

The BF.7 variant is highly transmissible and has a shorter incubation period - the time between catching the virus and beginning to have symptoms of the disease.

All 234 swab samples tested in the 16th genome sequencing series in Mumbai have been detected with the Omicron variant of coronavirus, including 36, or 15 per cent, with the XBB subvariant, a civic official said today.

India saw a single-day rise of 2,119 new infections taking the coronavirus tally to 4,46,38,636, while the number of active cases has declined to 25,037, according to the Union Health Ministry data updated on Friday.

Researchers at Boston University sparked alarming headlines this week by creating a more lethal version of the omicron Covid variant.

BA.4.6, a subvariant of the omicron COVID variant which has been quickly gaining traction in the US, is now confirmed to be spreading in the UK.

A team led by an Indian-origin researcher has discovered a key vulnerability across all major variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, including the recently emerged BA.1 and BA.2 Omicron subvariants.

A new sub-variant of the coronavirus strain Omicron has been detected in samples sent for genome sequencing in Delhi's Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital, a top medical officer of the hospital said.

A new sub-variant of Covid's Omicron variant was detected in New Delhi, according to an official on Wednesday.
