Meanwhile a new variant called the XFG, a sub-lineage of Omicron has been detected. The variant that had caused close to 160 cases In India so far was first identified in Canada, according to a study published in The Lancet. It originates from the LF.7 and LP.8.1.2 lineages and carries four key spike mutations, His445Arg, Asn487Asp, Gln493Glu, and Thr572Ile.
Researchers have warned that XFG has demonstrated strong immune evasion, allowing it to bypass the body’s natural defences more easily, which may help explain its rapid global spread.
However. these variants are termed as Variants Under Monitoring, which means they are not yet deemed as Variants of Concern or Variants of Interest.
