SUB MUTANT New Delta subvariant that’s ‘spiking in UK’ could be 10% more infectious – as cases hit three-month high

The spike in cases of AY.4.2 has been picked up in Britain, with a slice of the country’s growing infections due to the subvariant.

He called it “Delta plus”, which was a name given to an earlier separate strain, but tweeted: “UK reported its biggest one-day Covid case increase in three months just as the new delta variant AY.4 with the S:Y145H mutation in the spike reaches 8% of UK sequenced cases.
