    A researcher in Cyprus has discovered a strain of the coronavirus that combines the delta and omicron variant, Bloomberg News Reported on Saturday.

    Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus, called the strain “deltacron,” because of its omicron-like genetic signatures within the delta genomes, Bloomberg said.

    So far, Kostrikis and his team have found 25 cases of the virus, according to the report. It’s still too early to tell whether there are more cases of the strain or what impacts it could have.

    “We will see in the future if this strain is more pathological or more contagious or if it will prevail against the two dominant strains, delta and omicron,” Kostrikis said in an interview with Sigma TV Friday. He believed omicron will also overtake deltacron.
