The corona pandemic is not leaving the world behind. Now research conducted in Japan regarding Omicron's new variant BA.2 has yielded surprising results.

The Ba.2 sub-strain has been detected in Denmark and the UK this month. It is also unfavorable for antibodies produced from vaccines.

 

Those who have been infected with earlier versions of Covid have also been found to be resistant to BA.2 antibodies.

 

Research has also found that BA.2 has now started to replace BA.1. That is, it is now spreading rapidly. More contagious than Omicron's original form.

 

Although ba.2 has been considered a variant of Omicron, its genome sequence is completely different from that of the parent form ba.1.
