Omicron subvariant BF.7 News
New research on the Omicron subvariant BF.7 of the coronavirus has suggested the pathogen could be changing how it attacks the human body - shifting from infecting respiratory systems to increasingly targeting the brain.
Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said why did PM campaign in Gujarat Polls amid the detection of BF.7 cases between August and November?
Omicron subvariant BF.7, the strain driving China's current surge of Covid-19 cases, have been detected in India and become a cause of concern for the government.
Amid a surge in Covid-19 cases in neighouring China and several other countries, three cases of the Omicron subvariant BF.7 have also been detected in India so far - two from Gujarat and one from Odisha.
Sources said three cases of Omicron subvariant BF.7, apparently the strain driving China's current surge of Covid cases, have been detected in India so far.
BF.7 is a sub-lineage of the Omicron variant BA.5 and has the strongest infection ability since it is highly transmissible, has a shorter incubation period, and has a higher capacity to cause reinfection or infect even those vaccinated.
