As the variant is spreading faster than expected, here is what we know about the Omicron sub-variant BA.2.75
Meanwhile, another highly virulent variant XE was found circulating in the UK. Health officials have stated that the XE variant is 10 times more transmissible than the other variants.
Currently, two variants and one sub-variant are wrecking havoc worldwide, these are - Delta, Omicron BA.1, and Omicron BA.2 (or Stealth Omicron).
According to the experts, the Omicron sub-variant BA.2, dubbed the 'stealth' variant, may have something to do with the renewed spike.
BA.2 is often called the Stealth Omicron variant because it is missing some key mutations in its spike protein which is extremely important for rapid PCR tests.
Are you infected with COVID-19 but have no idea about which variant? Here are 6 symptoms of the Omicron COVID variant that you must know.
BA.2 is found to have quickly overtaken the original Omicron in South Africa and other countries and has even caused a second Omicron surge in Denmark.
Even though COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, the symptoms of one of its variants called Stealth Omicron or BA.2 may appear in the gut. Read on to know more.
Similar to the original Omicron, BA.2 was resistant to antibodies in the blood of people who had been vaccinated against COVID-19.
The subvariant is already becoming dominant in the Philippines, Nepal, Qatar, India and Denmark.
It is too early for any country either to surrender or to declare victory over COVID-19, WHO said while urging countries to go slow on relaxing COVID-related curbs.
A linked preliminary assessment did not find evidence of a difference in vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease for BA.2 compared to BA.1.
The Omicron subvariant BA.2, dubbed "Stealth Omicron", is rising around the world with at least 55 countries, including India.
The BA. 2 descendant lineage, which differs from BA. 1 in some of the mutations, including in the spike protein, is increasing in many countries.
Stealth Omicron or BA.2 is a sublineage of the Omicron COVID-19 variant identified in some parts of the world that has raised concerns among health experts. Everything you need to know.
