New Delhi: Delta variant of COVID-19 continues to be the main variant of concern and other variants of interest or concern are now negligible in sequencing data from India, the Indian Sars-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG) said.
The INSACOG, in a bulletin, said there is no change in the global scenario. "Delta, including B.1.617.2 (AY) and AY.x sublineages, continues to be the main VOC globally.
As per the latest WHO update, Delta has outcompeted other variants in most countries and there is now declining prevalence of other variants among SARS-CoV-2 sequences submitted to publicly available datasets or reported to WHO," it said.
