The super-transmissibility of the Omicron variant of the new coronavirus pneumonia has caused a new wave of epidemics around the world. Now some scientists claim to have discovered a “strong combination” of the two super-strong virus strains, Omicron and Delta. New variant virus strains.
Scientists in Cyprus claim that they have discovered a new variant of the new coronavirus that combines delta and omicron strains and named it Deltacron. In this regard, experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a document on the 10th local time, saying that this situation may be caused by laboratory contamination.
Kupari, a member of the WHO’s new crown epidemic team, posted on social media on the 10th that there was no Deltacron virus strain, and said that this may be in the laboratory, and the Omicron virus strain was mixed in the specimen of the Delta virus strain.
Maria van Kerckhofer, technical lead of WHO’s health emergencies programme, called for the name Deltacron to be dropped.
According to previous reports, researchers at the University of Cyprus suspected to have found a recombinant new coronavirus strain of Delta and Omicron in the local area. Therefore, the strain was named Deltacron by the researchers. But this statement was urgently slapped by the WHO.
