Jaipur: Sub-genealogy of BA.2 from the Omicron Covid-19 variant is now spreading faster than original tension, BA.1, from a variant in the state.
Analysis of the Omicron sub-lineage, which pushed the third wave of Covid-19 pandemic, was carried out by SMS Medical College.
This shows that regardless of the original Omicron strain, sub-lineage ba.2 and BA.1.1.529 also spread rapidly in the state.
In the analysis of the case of omicron variants, medical colleges SMS and Ruhs have found that 47.7% of the samples were tested positively for the original BA.1 variant, while the 48.2% of the sample was tested positive for sub-lineage ba.2.
This shows that the sub-genealogy of BA.2 has now replaced BA.1 (Omicron’s original strain) in the state.
In addition, BA.1 and BA.2, around 4.18% positive return samples for BA.1.1.529 sub-genealogy.
The Ministry of Health and doctors now take steps to determine differences in symptoms in two sub-lineages and one original strain (BA.1), along with severity, each of them.1 and BA.1.1.529 cause patients.
“Our genome sequencing report shows that two sub-lineages and original BA.1 strains are now spreading in the country.
We now make efforts to find out which variant now causes more severity or whether there are differences in symptoms among patients BA .1, BA .2 or BA.1.1.529, “said Dr.
Sudhir Bhandari, Deputy Chancellor of Ruhs and the Principal and Controller, SMS Medical College.
“We are conducting sequencing genomes in the SMS Medical College of all patients who are brought to the Ruhs Hospital to distinguish symptoms and severity in BA.1 and sub-lineage-ba.2 and BA.1.529.
The matters of the genome will be carried out by patients with severity levels Different, asymptomatic, light, moderate, requires oxygen, requires support for non-invasive ventilator or invasive ventilator support, “said Dr.
Bhandari.
“We are now analyzing the clinical presentation of BA.1, BA.2, and BA.1.1.529.
Initially, we have found that they have more or less the same clinical presentation.
Because BA.2 is now spreading faster, we are located.
Kind the patient In hospitals because they conducted an in-depth study of Omicron sub-lineages, “said Dr.
Ajit Singh, the largest Covid-19 Hospital Supervisor in the state.
In the state, the first nine cases of Omicron (BA.1) were reported in December 5.
December four families, who have arrived in Jaipur from South Africa on November 25, and 5 people from the family in Adarsh ​​Nagar, which they have met on the day The same arrival, positively tested for Omicron.
Since December 5, cases increased and in January, he took steps and caused more than 150 deaths until January 29.
