As new types of corona emerge, fears about the epidemic grow. Now comes word from Cyprus that a new corona variation made up of Omicron and Delta has been discovered. Delta wreaked havoc in numerous nations last year, while Omicron is claimed to be the fastest-spreading corona type ever. It's easy to imagine what the hazards of their mixed new varieties will be in such a setting. According to the reports, a Cypriot researcher found the new strain, which is said to be a combination of Omicron and Delta varieties.
Because of its Omicron-like genetic features and a delta-like genome, Leondios Kostriks, professor of biology at the University of Cyprus, dubbed it 'Deltacron.' According to the article, 25 DeltaCron sufferers have been discovered in Cyprus thus far. It is, however, too early to judge how dangerous this variation is or what effect it will have.

We'll see if this strain is more pathogenic or contagious and if it'll be more effective than the previous two primary strains, according to Kostrix. He claimed that Omicron appears to be more infectious than DeltaCron. The findings of this study were sent to 'GISaid,' an international data center that tracks infection statistics.
The DeltaCron variation appears at a time when the Omicron variant has emerged as the primary cause of COVID-19 outbreaks over the world. In the previous seven days, more than 6 lakh new illnesses have been discovered in the United States. According to the reports of one university, there was a 72 percent rise in cases compared to the prior week. During the pandemic, this was a new high.
