Omicron BA.2 is more transmissible than BA.1, says a study conducted by Statens Serum Institut, which conducts infectious disease and biological threat surveillance for the Danish government. "Several countries, including Denmark, have observed the two Omicron sub variants: BA.1 and BA.2. In Denmark the latter has rapidly replaced the former as the dominant subvariant," the study finds.
Currently, the Omicron variant of Coronavirus is the dominant infection causing variant. Reports of emergence of another virulent strain of this superspreader variant has stirred a new interest among people.
