Omicron BA.5 Sub-Variant And Long COVID: How Big Is The Threat?
Omicron is evolving more rapidly than any other previously studied virus. BA.1, BA.1.1, BA.2, BA.2.12, BA.2.12.1, BA.2.38, BA,2.75, BA.3, BA.4, BA.5 the list continues

Omicron is so far the most mutated version of the COVID-19 virus. It's sub-variant BA.5 also carries similar mutations in its spike protein which makes it eligible to infect fully vaccinated people.
Omicron BA.5 variant is causing an increase in deaths and hospitalizations across the globe. The US CDC urges people to stay up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccinations.
BA.5 Omicron variant is the subvariant leading the current surge in COVID cases in several countries. Recently, it has been termed the 'worst variant' so far - know if it is highly dangerous.
Following a surge in daily cases of COVID-19, WHO has issued a statement that the pandemic is far from over.
Experts have also said that just like the other variants in the Omicron lineage, BA.5 also seems to mainly target the upper respiratory tract, causing severe problems in the throat and nose.
Almost five per cent of the samples genome sequenced from central and south east Delhi tested positive for the BA.5 sub-variant.
Omicron, the highly virulent and mutated version of the COVID-19 virus has mutated to form BA.4 and BA.5 sub-variants which are posing a threat.
One can expect the below mentioned symptoms to appear when he/she catches the BA.5 Omicron.
Omicron Sub-Variants BA.4, BA.5, and BA.2.12.1may be more dangerous than previously thought, suggest experts.
The study found that the neutralising activity against Omicron sub-variants such as BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.11, BA.2.12.1, BA.2.13, and BA.4/BA.5 "was not or only minimally detectable".
BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants contributed nearly 13 per cent of all new US COVID-19 cases in the week ending June 4, according to the CDC data.
The genome sequencing body said that the contact tracing of the BA.4 and BA.5 patients is being undertaken as a precautionary measure.
Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 are currently causing most of the coronavirus infections around the world. Here's what the WHO chief has to say about it.
Will the sublineages of Omicron be the driving factor for the next wave of COVID-19? Here's what experts have to say about the mutations of SARS-CoV-2.
