Health experts across the globe have indicated that a new Covid variant could 'wreak havoc' on the world, with the latest fast-spreading strain taking its toll in India as well as making ground in the UK in recent weeks.
Just as 'normal' life begins to resume and the summer weather finally makes an appearance in the UK, the unwelcome news of a potential new variant of fast-spreading Omicron has cast doubts in the mind's of experts.
The BA.2.75 variant, or Centaurus, was first picked up in India in early May and after arriving in the UK, cases have been moving in a sharp upward trend, as in recent weeks, health experts at the University of Edinburgh, have expressed concerns over the growing number of cases in Scotland.
