The number of cases of the XBB.1.5 variant of coronavirus in India increased to seven

The number of cases of XBB.1.5 form of coronavirus in India has increased to seven. On Thursday, this information was given in the data of the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG). This pattern is believed to be responsible for the increase in new cases of coronavirus infection in America. According to the data, out of seven cases, three were found in Gujarat and one each in Karnataka, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan.

The XBB.1.5 form of the coronavirus is a subform of the Omicron XBB form, which is a recombinant of the Omicron BA.2.10.1 and BA.2.75 subforms. 44 percent of patients infected with the coronavirus in the US have the same XBB and XBB.1.5 forms Seven cases of the BF.7 subtype of omicron have also been confirmed, out of which four cases have been reported in West Bengal, two in Gujarat and one in Odisha. This form of coronavirus is believed to be responsible for the current horrific wave of the Kovid-19 epidemic in China.
