What is COVID-19 XE Variant?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the XE variant is made up of two variants of the corona, BA.1 and BA.2. and it is 10 times more infectious than BA.2. However, it is necessary to study more on the seriousness of this matter. At the moment, the highest number of cases of the BA.2 variant are being reported in the world.
The BA.2 variant is said to be the reason for the new wave of covid in other countries of the world including China, UK, Germany, USA. It is not only more infectious than BA.1 and BA.3. It’s also not easy to detect. Hence ba.2 is also being called the ‘stealth variant’.
According to the who, it is currently responsible for 86 per cent of the world’s infections.

Since the study on this variant is going on right now. In such a situation, early symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, mucus and cold, stomach problems can be seen. Apart from this, the new variant can be more dangerous for people already suffering from serious diseases.
Since this is a mutation of the omicron itself, there is every possibility that the new variant will be affected by the vaccine. Because due to a large number of vaccinations during the third wave in India, the effect of the omicron was not the same as in the second wave.
