Another highly infectious variant of coronavirus - HKU5-CoV-2 detected in China is capable of evading vaccine-induced immunity. Will this new variant trigger another pandemic? Read on to find out!
The most recent Covid variation BA 2.86, which has been found in a few nations, is a severely altered version. WHO has labelled it a "variant under monitoring," nonetheless.
WHO has raised alarm over a fast speeding new variant of Covid 19 in UK. The name of this variant is Eris, which is a sub Variant of the deadly omicron. The spread of a new Covid-19 sub-variant in the UK has sparked concern amid all the nearby countries on whether this new wave could lead to the global pandemic resurfacing once again.
XBB.1.5 aka Kraken COVID variant is currently the 'most transmissible' variant of COVID-19 that is driving a new wave in the United States.
Experts have cautioned that China is moving towards a phase where the country will be hit by multiple COVID waves which will mostly get triggered by Omicron subvariants.
The massive COVID resurgence in China has left the world worried about the future of the pandemic. Let's take a close look at the variants that are driving the current COVID spike in China.
COVID-19 cases are rapidly increasing in different parts of India, with Kerala and Tamil Nadu showing signs of worry. Meanwhile, the emergence of a new COVID variant has led to a state of worry in the country.
Long COVID may have led to the origins of Omicron and other variants that have driven Covid-19 surges globally, suggest scientists.
India's daily positivity rate now stands at 0.76 per cent, while the weekly positivity rate is reported to be 0.98 per cent.
Called BA.2.12.1, the new strain appears to be about 25 per cent more transmissible than the BA.2 subvariant.
The global COVID-19 caseload has crossed 514 million, and the deaths have surged to more than 6.23 million.

The new recombinant strain XE is a hybrid strain of two Omicron subvariants: BA.1 and BA.2 lineage.
Omicron BA.2 variant constituted 68.4 per cent of all whole genome sequenced samples in the state.
With so much information out there, it is normal to get confused about COVID-19 and its variants. WHO recently addressed some of the misleading claims made against the coronavirus.
A new study has found that more than one variant of coronavirus can infect a person at once. Here's everything you need to know about how it affects human organs.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus recently said that inequitable access to vaccines and tests may lead to the emergence of new COVID variants.
If we want to stop the spread of any new COVID variant and return to the pre-pandemic normalcy, you need to go back to basics. What does this mean? Read on to find the answer.
According to the scientists, the origin of these mutations has not been verified yet, however, they believe that one of the possible sources of these mutations could be the rats that frequent New York City's sewer system.
The Omicron subvariant BA.2, dubbed "Stealth Omicron", is rising around the world with at least 55 countries, including India.
Does it depend on the severity of the infection? Certainly not say, experts. Even a patient who has suffered mild illness due to the Omicron COVID variant can experience these long-COVID complications.
As if Delta and Omicron variants of deadly coronavirus weren't already enough, a professor from Cyprus has now claimed that a new strain of SARS-CoV-2 has been found. Read on to know everything about it.
