Even as the world slowly returns to normalcy, with Covid-19 instances decreasing, the prospect of a new form of Omicron looms large. With the SARs-COV-2 virus’s incredible ability to evolve, the pandemic appears to be far from done.
There appears to be no end to this pandemic, which includes the Alpha, Beta, and the most lethal Delta, as well as the most recent variation of concern, Omicron. The fact that these variations continue to divide and bifurcate into sub variants is even more concerning.
According to scientists, the Delta variation has around 200 distinct sub-variants. BA.1, BA.2, BA.3, and B.1.1.529 are sub-variants of the Omicron variant. Scientists are now warning about a new BA.2 Omicron sub-variant. The Stealth Omicron, also known as BA.2, is a sublineage of the extensively modified Omicron variety.
The Omicron variety of Covid-19 is thought to be more transmissible than the original strain. The BA.2 subvariant, according to researchers, is not only more transmissible than the original Omicron strain, BA.1, but it can also cause more severe illness. The BA.2 subvariant can spread 30% faster than BA.1.
Dizziness and weariness are two additional symptoms of the Omicron BA.2 subvariant, according to the US National Library of Medicine.
Fatigue and dizziness
The most common symptoms among people infected include headache, sore/scratchy throat, sneezing, runny nose, and bodily pain.
The US National Library of Medicine has discovered two more symptoms of BA.2: dizziness and exhaustion, according to a recent article by KREM 2 News.
Furthermore, the new BA.2 subvariant spreads 30 percent more easily than the original Omicron variant, according to the paper.
According to sources, the new BA.2 subvariant is far more difficult to trace than the original Omicron strain BA.1.
According to experts, there is no mutation in the BA.2 subvariant. It can be discovered with the use of genome sequencing, but it will take longer to get findings.
According to preliminary research, the BA.2 subvariant may be more infectious than the original variant.
The Omicron subvariant, however, is neither more virulent or severe than the original variant, according to the World Health Organization.
