A new COVID-19 variant, called “deltacron” because it is a combination of the delta and omicron variants, has been identified in France, the Netherlands and Denmark, according to the World Health Organization. However, it does not appear to be much more infectious or severe in its effects, meaning that it is not likely to extend the pandemic. Still, as of yet, very few cases have been discovered, so little is known with certainty. Mask wearing is still our only maximum avoidance of the virus.
