Didier Raoult posted a photograph of the Deltacron variant on Twitter.
Several patients have contracted a particular form of Covid-19: a cross between the two variants Delta and Omicron, called Deltacron. This Thursday, March 3, Professor Didier Raoult published a photograph of this hybrid variant on his Twitter account, taken by his teams.
“It is difficult to predict what the characteristics of such a recombinant will be compared to the two parental variants and to anticipate its impact on public health”, declared Public Health France regarding this variant. But vigilance is still required: the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified the Deltacron variant in the list of variants placed under surveillance.
