The Thai Medical Sciences Department has detected the country’s first infection of the COVID-19 Omicron XBC variant, or Deltacron. The patient has, however, already recovered from the disease, said Dr. Supakit Sirilak, the department’s director-general, today (Wednesday).

 

According to GISAID, as of November 20th, 153 XBC cases have been recorded worldwide, but there have been no clear signs that the variant, which is a recombinant between the Delta variant and the BA.2 sub-lineage of Omicron, is more severe than the other COVID-19 variants or sub-variants.

 

Dr. Supakit said that, between November 19th and 25th, the Medical Sciences Department monitored 299 cases and discovered that Omicron BA.2.75 variant infections have increased 63.3% from the previous week, with most of the cases being locally acquired infections.

Deltacron was around already at the beginning of year, so surprising so few recorded infections. 
I have read it's common in Philippines now.
