cause for concern for india
There are more cases of Omicron’s BA.1 variant in India. The BA.1 is the original variant of the Omicron. Although BA.2 is also available in India. So far it has been found in 40 countries, with most of the samples found in Denmark, India, UK, Sweden and Singapore. BA.2 is present in India but most of the people here have been infected with BA.1. According to researcher Anders Fomsgaard of the Staten Serum Institute, people infected with BA.1 can become vulnerable to BA.2.
Not easy to recognize
In such a situation, people who have been exposed to Omicron’s BA.1 can be re-infected with BA.2. In such a situation, the peak of two waves can come simultaneously in the epidemic. The variant Omicron of the corona virus has a special change that makes it different from Delta. The Omicron sub-variant BA.2 does not show the same change, making it difficult to identify. According to experts, no significant difference has been observed between the two sub-variants of Omicron in terms of hospital admissions.
Fortunately, the number of people admitted to hospitals is not increasing. Many experts say that the RT-PCR test has been successful in showing the sample of BA.2 to be positive, but many things are yet to be revealed about this variant.
