As a recent study revealed that the first solid evidence for Delta and the omicron recombinant virus had been found, the World Health Organization (WHO) noted that this was expected by the omicron and delta variants of Covid circulating. Which also ensures that some studies are being carried out to understand the severity and transmission.
What is Delta+Omicron recombinant virus?
A recent study by the French Institute for the Pasteur Institute found solid evidence for the delta and omicron recombinant virus. This data and analysis provides a definitive confirmation of the authentic recombinant virus that comes from the Lineage of GK / AY.4 (DELTA) + GRA / BA.1 (Omicron).
The recombinant virus was identified in several areas of France and had been circulating since the beginning of January 2022. In particular, the virus genome with the same profile has also been identified in Denmark and the Netherlands Additional investigations and analysis are needed to determine whether this recombinant comes from one general ancestor, or from several similar recombination events.
What WHO said about its severity and transmissibility?
Give updates to the same thing, who Maria Van Kerkhove said on Twitter, this is expected, especially with intense circulation Omicron and Delta. He further told who traced and discussed WHO officials, during a press conference, also confirmed, at present, there are no changes observed in severity and transmission, but some studies are ongoing on the topic. At this stage, testing is still important.
