The Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG), in a remark, mentioned it’s maintaining an in depth watch and tracking the emergence and evolution of XBB and XBB.1 and any new sub-lineages.

“The neighborhood don’t need to panic and adherence to coronavirus suitable behaviour is advisable within the gentle of ongoing festivities,” it mentioned.

A number of the Indian sufferers the illness is delicate like with different Omicron sub-lineages and no build up in severity is famous, the panel mentioned.

“XBB, a BJ.1/BM.1.1.1 recombinant lineage with breakpoint within the spike protein is right now showing in a couple of international locations. This recombinant lineage used to be first detected in Singapore and the United States, and has additionally been recognized in a couple of states in India,” it mentioned.

A sub-lineage of XBB with an extra mutation could also be detected (XBB.1).
