Omicron contains over 35 worrisome mutations. Out of these 35 mutations in the variant's spike protein [used by SARS-CoV-2 to bind to a specific receptor when infecting human cells], only one was unknown.
The study result found that people who were infected with AY.4.2 were less likely to have any of the "classic" symptoms of loss or change of sense of taste or smell, fever or new persistent cough, and also less likely to have any other kind of symptoms.
The Delta variant has now mutated again to form another 'more contagious' strain called Delta Plus or AY.4.2. But what is it, where did it come from, and should we be concerned? Read on to find out.
