Delmicron variant of Covid more dangerous : European countries have raised concerns over the possibility of a third wave of COVID-19 across the globe. While experts are still struggling to understand the nature of this new variant to chalk out the preventive strategy, another variant has come to the fore. Named Delmicron, experts believe that this strain is actually responsible for the COVID tsunami in the United States and Europe. Not too difficult to decipher, Delmicron is a combination of the Delta and Omicron variants.
Delmicron is not a new variant of the coronavirus like Alpha, Beta and others. It is the combination of the two existing strains- Delta and Omicron. It is a double variant of COVID-19 spreading rapidly in the West. But the two main variants can be found all over the world, including India.
As Delmicron is created with the merging of Delta and Omicron versions of coronavirus, it is considered to be highly transmissible and potent to cause severe symptoms. A lot more research is needed to gain detailed knowledge about its nature. As far as the symptoms go, being a combination of Delta and Omicron, Delmicron infection tends to show more or less the same symptom as its parent variants. The common signs include:
A high temperature
A persistent cough
A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
Headache
Runny nose
Sore throat
