Scientists around the world are growing more concerned about a newly emerging subvariant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus—named BA.2.
In his paper, Loo also notes that some in the field, such as Francois Balloux, with University College London's Genetics Institute, are calling the new strain the most striking SARS-CoV-2 subvariant to develop since omicron. Media outlets have reported that genetic sequencing of the new strain has been conducted on blood samples of infected people in the U.S., the U.K., Israel and Denmark. And the circumstances surrounding such infections suggest that they were not connected, which means that the variant has become established in those countries and likely many others.found in the new variant suggests it has been circulating for several months.
