Scientists told that they have identified a new hybrid version of the coronavirus called “deltacron”, which combines the omicron and delta variants of the virus.

Driving the news: The variant is considered “a recombinant virus of both virus, meaning it has melded-together genetic information from both variants,” according to NBC News.

Cases are considered rare.

What they’re telling : “Delta basically grabbed omicron’s spike protein,” Jeremy Kamil, an associate professor of microbiology and immunology at LSUHS (Louisiana State University Health Shreveport) said to NBC News. “This is essentially delta trying to hang on by plagiarizing from omicron virus”

Should you worry about the new ‘deltacron’ variant?

Your body will identify deltacron as omicron, experts say
Symptoms: Dr. Etienne Simon-Loriere, a virologist at the IPP (Institut Pasteur in Paris), shared with The New York Times that the body will often recognize the deltacron variant as the omicron variant, meaning your COVID-19 symptoms from deltacron may resemble the omicron variant.

Business Insider used data from the ZCSS (Zoe COVID Symptom Study) to compile a list of the top 14 omicron variant symptoms, which include:

Runny nose.
Headache.
Fatigue.
Sneezing.
