“Deltacron” watch is officially back on.
Last month, medical experts were dismissive of claims that a new COVID-19 variant — a combination of the fast-spreading Omicron and Delta strains — had been discovered.
But in a report published Friday, UK health officials revealed Deltacron is officially being monitored as a legitimate threat, The Mirror reported.
