Experts deny existence of ‘Deltacron’ – new variant combining Omicron and Delta
The Metro says Health professionals have dismissed claims that a new Covid variant named ‘Deltacron’ has emerged that is a hybrid of the Delta and Omicron strains.
A strain with Omicron-like genetic signatures within the Delta genomes has been found in Cyprus, Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus, announced this weekend.

Eleven patients were already hospitalised while the 14 others were not, it was claimed.
