Deltacron: Is new COVID-19 variant a concern?

Deltacron, a hybrid virus of COVID-19, first began to emerge in January. Initially scientists thought it was a data error, but now they believe it’s a combined virus of both delta and omicron.

As of now, both the CDC and World Health Organization are just watching Deltacron. Cases are popping up around the world, including here in the U.S., but not to the extreme like we saw with omicron alone. So, as of now, it has not been classified as a variant of interest or concern.
