The Term Delmicron Appears, IDI: Not A New Variant Of COVID-19

JAKARTA - Omicron's COVID-19 cases continue to increase in several countries, especially the European continent. This raises fears of a third wave of COVID-19. While the Omicron COVID-19 is still not over, a new virus strain is suspected to emerge towards the end of 2021. This new strain is called COVID-19 Delmicron, which, as the name implies, is a combination of COVID - 19 Delta and Omicron.

So, is this Delmicron virus a new variant of a combination of Delta and Omicron?

The head of the COVID-19 Task Force, the Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI), Zubairi Djoerban, emphasized that Delmicron is not a new variant of Corona.

Delmicron, said Zubairi, is just a term to describe the surge in cases of Delta and Omicron.

"Delmicron is not a new variant of the corona virus like Alpha or Beta. That is, Delmicron is just a term that refers to a situation where Delta and Omicron make a spike in cases in certain areas," said Zubairi via his Twitter account @ProfesorZubairi, Sunday, December 26.

Delmicron is not a new variant of the corona virus like Alpha or Beta. That is, Delmicron is just a term that refers to a situation where Delta and Omicron make a spike in cases in certain areas, such as in America. There Omicron accounts for 73% of the total new cases.

Zubairi also gave an example of the situation in the United States. Where, Omicron accounted for 73 percent of the total new cases. "Just like in America. There Omicron accounted for 73 percent of the total new cases," he said.
