“So far in Russia, this variant - “deltacrone” - has not been discovered.
There is not enough data about him to unequivocally answer the question of whether he is dangerous, ”RIA Novosti quotes Cherkashina.
She suggested that the properties of the "deltacron" would resemble the omicron strain of COVID-19.
Earlier it was reported that scientists from the Laboratory of Biotechnology and Molecular Virology of the University of Cyprus discovered a hybrid of strains of coronavirus "delta" and "omicron", which was given the name "deltacron".
The head of the technical group of the World Health Organization (WHO), Maria van Kerkhove, said that the alleged hybrid strain of coronavirus "deltacron" may not be a combination of known virus mutations, but a laboratory error.
