The first case of a new Omicron sub-variant, BF.7 was reported in India. The Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre informed that the new sub-variant has entered the borders of the country.
Public health experts have advised caution, as the variants BF.7 and BA.5.1.7 are reportedly behind the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in China, which forced authorities to impose fresh lockdowns across provinces. The Omicron sub-variants have greater transmissibility, experts said.
Are you ready for another lockdown?
