The Omicron variant continues to be spoken around the world. However, a new variant emerged in this process. The mutation, called Delmicron, has characteristics of both Delta and Omicron. There are concerns that the mutation could lead to more dangerous and serious consequences, as it is a combination of two variants. So what is the Delmicron variant, what are its symptoms?
WHAT IS THE DELMICRON VARIANT?
Delmicron; It is not identified as a new mutating variant of the coronavirus like Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and others. However, the variant is a combination of two existing variants: Delta and Omicron. The virus is spreading rapidly, especially in western countries. The Delta variant dominated the world globally from mid-April to mid-June and was known to be responsible for the second wave of coronavirus that took millions of lives.
The Delta variant also launched a major challenge as it caused severe symptoms and increased the risk of hospitalization. The variant was also known to cause long-term symptoms such as post-infection brain fog, muscle aches and hair loss. The first data on the Omicron variant, which was first detected in South Africa last month, revealed that it causes milder symptoms than the Delta variant.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF DELMICRON?
Because Delmicron was created by combining the Delta and Omicron versions of the coronavirus, it is considered highly contagious and has the potential to cause severe symptoms. However, further work is needed to obtain detailed information about the nature of the double variant.
