Scientists didn’t agree with the reports of the new Deltacron variant and they didn’t agree that this variant is the mix of the Delta & Omicron variants. They said that the new variant can be an error in the laboratory and nothing more than that and it is contamination that happens when different viruses combine together. But the variant can emerge in the future which is why we should be prepared and know more about it.
Lawrence Young who is a professor at the University of Warwick said that “On Deltacron, there are concerns about the validity of this variant – whether it is real or an artifact of the sequencing technology. We need more data to confirm the existence of this variant and whether it is spreading in the population.”
WHAT IS THIS NEW STRAIN OF VIRUS?
A Professor at the University of Cyprus said that “a virus which is a mix of Delta & Omicron has been found”. The mutation is more dangerous than recombination. But another scientist Dr Jaffery Barrett said otherwise, said: “it is not a biological recombination of any previous viruses”.
HOW DO VIRUSES CHANGE THEIR SEQUENCE?
Viruses change themselves in two ways: Mutation and Recombination. The mutation is the result of accidents. It makes more and more covid variants. On the other hand, Recombination happens when a person is badly affected by all different kinds of viruses and they come together and start growing together in the same cell and that is when recombination happens.
Getting Tested
Individuals should get themselves tested
frequently and look for all major symptoms. If you feel you have a virus, as
per Government Guidelines, self-isolate. You can book a PCR or Lateral Flow
Test via Point
19 Testing which has testing centers that cover all major
cities, simply search them by typing PCR
test in Kirk lees, PCR test in Leeds, PCR test in Wakefield, PCR test in
Bolton. If you are flying out of the UK and you require a PCR Test or a Rapid
Antigen Test, Point 19 Testing is your best option as they can ship a
Rapid Antigen Test
out to you via post or you can simply collect from the Testing Centre.
Whether the disputed variant could be more or
less contagious or dangerous remains unclear so it is important to take care of
your immune health to remain at the top of your health condition. Frequently get
yourself tested with lateral flow tests
before going to your workplaces and before meeting anyone vulnerable. Get these
tests at your doorstep by looking them up in your area via google and simply
type PCR test in Kirk lees, PCR test in
Leeds, PCR test in Wakefield, PCR test in Bolton.
