• Analysis of the strain’s genetic code shows that the “backbone” of the variant is derived from Delta, while the spike protein – the part of the virus that attaches itself to human cells – originates from the Omicron variant.

• While the hybrid variant has shown it can spread between people, experts and health authorities have insisted it is not growing at concerning rate and is unlikely to replace Omicron.

• Very little is known about the new variant, including how infectious or severe it may be, according to the UK’s Health Security Agency. Some of the symptoms to look out for include: high temperature, new continuous cough, loss or change to your sense of smell or taste, runny or congested nose, feeling fatigued, headache, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, muscle or body aches, sore throat, nausea or vomiting and diarrhoea.
