Israel has detected cases of a new COVID variant that is a hybrid of Delta and Omicron, according to national broadcaster Kan.
The network reported on Monday night that the variant surfaced in swab samples that were sequenced in labs. The Hebrew-language report has not been confirmed by the Health Ministry.
According to Kan, a limited number of cases have been detected among people who returned from Europe, and there is no community spread.
World Health Organization COVID-19 technical lead, epidemiologist Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, an infectious disease epidemiologist, spoke about the variant last week, acknowledging a strain that combines Delta and Omicron. She noted that it has been detected in a few countries, including France and the Netherlands, but at low levels.
