Nicosia, Jan 09: A new strain of Covid-19 Deltacron has emerged in Cyprus, which has a similar genetic background to the Delta variant, as well as some of the mutations from Omicron. However, experts say that the new variant is not something to be worried about at the moment.

According to ANI, 10 of the mutations from Omicron were found in the 25 samples taken in Cyprus. Eleven of the samples came from people who were hospitalized due to the virus, while 14 came from the general population, reported Jerusalem Post citing Cyprus Mail.

“The frequency of the mutation among hospitalized patients was higher and could point to a correlation between the new variant and hospitalizations,” said Dr. Leondios Kostrikis, the head of the laboratory of biotechnology and molecular virology at the University of Cyprus.

The new variant was not something to worry about at the moment, said Cyprus’s Health Minister Michalis Hadjipandelas on Saturday.

The minister also expressed pride in discovering the new variant. So far, the scientific name of the new variant has not been announced.

全國人大常委譚耀宗今日在電台上表示,相信《基本法》第23條會在明年上半年完成立法,又形容受「23條」影響的人不會很多。他又強調:「只要中央對我們有信心,2047(「五十年不變」限期)不是問題。」 譚耀宗表示,不認同訂立「23條」是將港人自由愈收愈緊,強調指有些事情在法例上是不應被容許的,例如外國勢力在香港運作,甚至將香港作為顛覆或危害國家安全的基地。他指,相信普通市民不會做這些事,形容受「23條」影響的人不會很多。 他表示,訂立「23條」不用太長時間,即使今年來不及進行立法,但相信明年用幾個月時間,在明年上半年都可以解決。 譚耀宗在節目中又表示,《基本法》列明「一國兩制」50年不變,但不代表2047年一定會改變,料中央會在適當時候公布,認為大家不需要太心急。他指:「只要中央對我們有信心,2047(「五十年不變」限期)不是問題,(中央)適當時候會處理。」 他認為,最關鍵是香港未來要繼續做好自身角色,包括配合及融入國家發展大局,讓政治穩定、經濟繁榮。他又認為,香港要落實好「一國兩制」,社會不能只強調「兩制」,否則會給予人排斥「一國」及中央的感覺。 譚耀宗續指,香港亦不能盲目堅持過往自身一套制度,認為香港與內地遲遲未能通關,可能與香港不接受內地部分建議有關;又認為港府長期以來都沒有妥善發展新界北,僅用作擺放厭惡性設施。 他認為,香港政府架構或承襲英國制度,部門分工很微細,以至一項工作分割由太多部門處理,影響效率。對於重組政府架構,他認為若增設副司長,可以協助特首統領跨部門工作。 一文看清不同疫苗獎賞及優惠:https://bit.ly/3vw84v0 HKET TV健康台由專家拆解食物安全及都市疾病,即看:https://bit.ly/3cNFwr7 實時追蹤香港新冠肺炎確診者住所/出現地點,立即下載經濟日報App:https://bit.ly/2JdOaiS 責任編輯:胡偉明
