Omicron-Delta ‘hybrid’ gets sinister name
A hybrid of the Delta and Omicron Covid-19 variants has reportedly been discovered in Cyprus and 25 cases of the virus have already been recorded.
Critics of the discovery, however, allege it to be a mere case of contamination.
University of Cyprus biological sciences professor Leondios Kostrikis dubbed the new hybrid ‘Deltacron’ and warned on Friday that the world “will see in the future if this strain is more pathological or more contagious or if it will prevail” over current variants.
