A strain of COVID-19 that combines Delta and Omicron was found in Cyprus, according to Leondios Kostrikis, Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Cyprus and Head of the Laboratory of Biotechnology and Molecular Virology. The discovery was named "Deltacron" due to the identification of Omicron-like genetic signatures within the Delta genomes, he said.
