11-year-old boy who returned from Moldova was identified with a sub-strain of the Delta

The Ministry of Health announced an 11-year-old boy who had recently returned from Moldova and was identified as Corona at Ben Gurion Airport, who was infected with a sub-strain of the Delta. "The investigation is ongoing," the ministry said in a statement, adding that it is "constantly monitoring all types of variants and their development."
Dr. "It started to rise in the image very slowly, but reached 10.5% of the samples," Kubiler said. "The subspecies is on the rise in Germany as well, but there it is on one percent of the tests. It is a very slow rise, and it has not yet taken over and flipped the delta in the world - but it can reach more places, but it has not become dominant anywhere." .
According to him, this is not the first time that new variants have emerged but they are fading after a while. "There were more variants that went up to 10% and faded. There are variants that go up and fade and we do not quite understand why. We are afraid that maybe the AY4.2 strain has a slight advantage over the delta, if there is anything at all. It is not something that is very worrying."
On the arrival of the strain in the country, Koebler said that "it can be said that he was in the United States and in other countries in the world and was unable to take over. It's probably a variant with some small but insignificant priority. He gave another kind of 'boost' to the Delta. "It may be that he will take over a bit more, but I do not estimate that he will be the dominant strain in the world like the Delta."
Koviler clarified that the Delta strain is still considered the most dominant strain in the world, saying: "The Delta has taken over all the variants in the world in such a way that it constitutes more than 95% of all variants, and because it is so dominant, look for sub-strains in the delta itself. "For a new country, it is creating more sub-strains. I do not currently see any data that would make me suspect that it will be any more of a problem than the Delta, so there is no need to worry at the moment and it probably has nothing to do with vaccine resistance."
