So far nothing has been found out about the symptoms of this variant. Prior to the cases reported in the UK, 25 cases were found in Cyprus in which 11 of the Deltacron infected individuals were earlier hospitalized for COVID-19 and the rest were the general population.
On the severity of Deltacron, Professor Paul Hunter, an infectious disease expert at the University of East Anglia told the media that this ‘shouldn’t pose too much of a threat’.
‘It doesn’t fill me with dread. The reason is because, at present, both Delta and most versions of Omicron… are falling quickly and Delta is almost extinct in this country. Deltacron will have shared antigens from both Delta and Omicron and we already have high levels of immunity to those. So in theory it should not pose too much of a threat. But nobody can predict everything with certainty, but at the moment I am not overly worried,” he told Daily Mail.
