Scientists in France are studying a new 'hybrid' Covid variant containing elements of both the Omicron and Delta strains.
Deltacron, as it has been named, is a recombinant variant, which is likely to have emerged as a result of both strains of coronavirus replicating in the same person, scientists say.
The Pasteur Institute in France has now shared the first solid evidence for this variant, which has been found in the UK as well as France and the US, the Guardian reports.
