How dangerous are both the sub-variants?
Both sub-variants are highly contagious. They were first detected in many states of China. Due to these, there has been a rapid increase in corona patients in China.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), since Omicron is a variant of concern, it is important to keep an eye on its new strains as well.
Why the need to be afraid of variants?
The festive season is starting with Diwali in the country. In such a situation, most people will not follow protocols like face masks and social distancing. This is a warning bell for people with a weak immune system. They can be at risk from infection to hospitalization to death. That is why it is important that people avoid crowded places, leave the house only by wearing a mask and get their vaccination done.
How long can the new variants be lethal?
According to Dr. NK Arora, Chairman, NTAGI, corona infection can spread in the country in 3 to 4 weeks due to negligence. Due to the festival, people are gathering in large numbers in the markets. Also, now the cold season has started and the flu is also spreading. People can also confuse its symptoms with the symptoms of corona. The more people get tested for corona, the more the infection will have spread.
How much threat do we have from Omicron?
After Delta, Omicron has become the most dominant strain of Corona in the whole world. Even though its infection rate is high, its symptoms are quite mild. In most cases, there are no symptoms at all. Patients on Omicron experience cold-like symptoms. These include problems such as mild fever, sore throat and itching, cold, cough, nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea. At present, new variants are being developed in many countries, which can become a big threat to us.
