The new centaur variant omikron appears in the Netherlands

The BA.2.75 type of coronavirus, also known as Centaurus, has also appeared in the Netherlands. This was established by RIVM after researching test subjects.

The variant was found in a sample from the Northeast Gelderland region. This was captured on June 26th.

Not much is known about BA 2.75. The variant has already been created on a slightly larger scale in India. It is also found in Australia, Japan, Canada, the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Mutations may make it possible for the BA.2.75 variant to evade the immune system against the virus (by infection or vaccination) more easily than other variants of the omicron. There is still a lot of research on this topic. Right now, the centaurs didn’t seem to be getting sick.
