New Delhi: The new and deadly XE variant of coronavirus has hit India. This has been confirmed in the weekly bulletin of INSACOG, the body that monitors genome sequencing in India. The INSACOG bulletin said that the first case of the XE variant has been registered in the country. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the XE variant consists of the same sub-lenses ba.1 and ba.2 of the omicron. It is considered to be 10% more infectious than BA.2. The first case of the XE variant was reported from the UK on January 19 this year.

The INSACOG bulletin said that omicron (BA.2) still remains the dominant variant in India. Ba.2.2 has been identified as sub-leasers BA.2.10 and BA.2.12. However, so far, it has not been reported that they have a serious illness. The bulletin also said that cases are on the rise in 12 states and cases are decreasing in 19 states. The knock of the XE variant in India has raised concerns. That's because the XE variant is 10% more infectious than ba.2 and the arrival of the new variant also increases the chances of a new wave. However, it's too early to say anything in this regard. 

According to the WHO, the XE variant is 10 per cent more infectious than ba.2. The third wave of Corona in India was due to BA.2. At that time, 3.47 lakh cases were registered on January 21, which was the peak of the third wave. If the XE variant brings a new wave, the cases can rise faster. Whenever the new variant of Corona comes, the risk of a new wave also increases. Even though there is an omicron dominant variant right now, the entry of XE has also increased the possibility of a new wave. Experts also say that unless the new variant comes, there is no danger of a new wave. If the XE variant spreads, the fourth wave of Corona in India could knock.
