‘Centaurus’: virologists express concern at new Covid subvariant

Omicron variant BA.2.75 has been detected in India, UK, US, Australia, Germany and Canada

Virologists have voiced concerns about the emergence of another fast-spreading Omicron variant, which is rapidly gaining ground in India and has already arrived in the UK.

The warning came as MPs called for redoubled efforts to persuade the nearly 3 million adults in England who have not yet received a single dose of Covid vaccine, to take up the offer of vaccination.
