A subvariant of the Covid Delta strain could be more infectious than its ancestor, experts warned today after data revealed the proportion of cases linked to the strain has doubled in a month.
AY.4.2, as it is currently known to scientists, made up almost 10 per cent of all infections in England in the fortnight ending October 9. Virus-trackers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, which sequences thousands of Covid samples every week, say its prevalence stood at just four per cent in mid-September.
Academics estimate it may be up to 15 per cent more transmissible than the original Delta, which rapidly became dominant in Britain in the spring before taking off worldwide.
It has been detected in almost every part of the country, figures show, and it's thought to be behind almost 60 per cent of positive tests sampled sequenced in Adur, West Sussex.
No10 today said it was 'keeping a very close eye' on AY.4.2 but insisted there is 'no evidence' that it spreads easier. Boris Johnson's official spokesperson also warned the Government 'won't hesitate to take action if necessary'.
The warning comes as Covid cases continue to spiral across the UK, with daily infections yesterday shooting up to almost 50,000 in a three-month high.

It doesn’t sound like a very happy household there Buster. Cheer up.
Only a couple more “boosters” will be needed to kill the English off.
Just in time for Biden to open the borders too
The vackseen will be even less effective against this variant but you still have to take it or else.
Is it the communist strain like they have in Australia?
“Is an even MORE infectious strain of Delta now taking off in Britain?”
YES. I think I read that it was called Delta-2.0-A.D.E
Just in time for the holidays. Of course.
When does the Southwest and United variants come into play.
Why would you times 100% unless your trying to make the math say something it does not?
“Strange women, laying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.”
When does the Southwest and United variants come into play.

The in-flight movie for the Delta-Plus variant is “12 Monkeys”.
Just think. All that had to be done is someone let loose the arrow that would have killed Richard the 2nd and there might never have been the war of the roses.
That plague of 1348? The results were felt for years and years after.
Ironic? (or perhaps to be expected?)... that this comes out the day after Bill Gates and some of his other WEF/Davos co-conspirators go to visit Boris at 10 Downing Street.
I figured they were there to give him his new marching orders, since so many people are starting to catch on to the old ones.
Quadruple masking with a faceshield!
This must be the Hillary variant.
Quadruple masking with a faceshield!
Gosh....this is EXACTLY what Dr Lee Merritt told us what would happen, with these shots/strains, late last year.
Viruses are gonna variant....it’s what they do.
The shots only enhance the variants.
Infection rate ≠ death rate.
Unless, of course, your system is immune compromised....by....these.....shots.
😩
