[Bangalore](https://indianexpress.com/section/cities/bangalore/) affirmed that only in “infection-naïve or vaccination-naïve areas”, the cases may be significant. It is the need of the hour for everyone to get vaccinated and get a booster shot too. Dr Patil mentioned, “With the life normalising and the Covid restrictions loosening, any such new variant is bound to cause at least a transient surge in the affected population. It is only that we should not be caught off-guard and, hence, the authorities will definitely take transient steps to increase the number of testing and genome sequencing to diagnose any surge in cases and hospitalisation with new variants. The pandemic is still a matter of concern and one needs to be cautious. “Talking specifically about China, which is very stringent about its ‘Zero Covid’ policy, this has probably back-fired as most of the population affected by the new variant are those not immune (not having sufficient antibody titers in the blood),” he added “So, at present, it seems unlikely that the newer variant will create fatal infections in India,” Dr Jha told [indianexpress.com](https://indianexpress.com). To be specific about the BF.7 variant, in due course of time the viruses mutate as they survive in nature, thus, creating their lineages (as a family tree with the SARS COV 2 diagnosed in December 2019 as the trunk of the tree and the variants as branches and sub-branches ). [Omicron](https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/covid-variant-south-africa-explained-7642199/) subvariant [BF.7](https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-health/covid-bf-7-omicron-sub-variant-china-virus-8337055/), have been detected in India so far, according to a PTI report. Additionally, there are various reports also suggesting that the XBB variant, which is a recombinant — a combination of two lineages (BJ.1 and BA.2.75) and “highly infectious”, could make India worried. World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also said that “WHO is very concerned over the evolving situation in China”. India has been reporting a “steady decline” in Covid-19 cases, with the average number around 129 with daily positivity rate at 0.01 per cent, as of December 22, according to MyGov.in.

New Covid Variant, BF.7, sub-variant of Omicron that is prevalent in China is thought to be the cause of the present spike in BF.7 Covid-19 infections ...

In Gujarat and Odisha, the instances of BF.7 Covid Variant first came to light. Sources claimed that the first case had come to light in July. The massive Covid rise in China is being caused by the BF.7 sub-variant of Omicron, which has been found in four cases in India. After eliminating mandated safety measures like lockout and mass testing as part of its zero-Covid policy, China has been battling to control an out-of-control Covid surge with the BF.7 Covid variant. Only those who passed away from respiratory failure brought on by the infection will be included in the Covid mortality numbers, according to health experts. The Center has requested that all Covid-positive cases’ samples be sent to INSACOG genome sequencing facilities. Currently, the Covid protocol is not required in the nation. The latter is also known as BA.5.2.1.7. This isn’t the first time BF.7 has been in the spotlight; back in October, it began to displace the main variations in the US and several other European nations. The patients infected with the BF.7 and BF.12 forms of Omicron were reported in October-November, according to the Gujarat Health Department, where two cases were reported.

Omicron, BF.7 variant is claimed to be more infectious, more immune systems evasive, and so more transmissible.

BF.7 is a version of the Omicron virus, and it has improved immune evasion properties, so the conventional wisdom goes. The three instances of the variation that have been found in India have not led to an increase in Covid cases in the nation as a whole. Additionally, he said that, unlike in other nations, the BF.7 version did not have a disastrous effect in India. There have been a total of four confirmed BF.7 cases in India so far. In October of this year, India found the first person with the BF.7 variant. As the situation in China continues to deteriorate, concerns about a new shutdown and a possibly devastating wave have spread throughout the globe.

इस महीने की शुरुआत में 'सेल होस्ट एंड माइक्रोब' जर्नल में छपी एक स्टडी में बताया गया है कि BF.7 सब-वैरिएंट में ओरिजनल D614G वेरिएंट की मुकाबले 4.4 गुना ज्यादा न्यूट्रलाइजेशन प्रतिरोध (Neutralisation Resistance) है। एक हाई न्यूट्रलाइजेशन प्रतिरोध का मतलब है कि किसी आबादी में वैरिएंट के फैलने और दूसरे वेरिएंट की जगह लेने की संभावना ज्यादा है। आसान भाषा में इसे ऐसे समझें कि 2020 में दुनिया भर में फैले ओरिजनल वुहान वायरस (Wuhan Virus) की तुलना में एक वैक्सीन लिए हुए संक्रमित व्यक्ति के शरीर में बनने वाली एंटीबॉडी के BF.7 को खत्म करने की संभावना कम होती है। Omicron BF.7: 'सेल होस्ट एंड माइक्रोब' जर्नल में छपी एक स्टडी में बताया गया है कि BF.7 सब-वैरिएंट में ओरिजनल D614G वेरिएंट की मुकाबले 4.4 गुना ज्यादा न्यूट्रलाइजेशन प्रतिरोध (Neutralisation Resistance) है सोशल मीडिया पर आ रहे चीन के वीडियो काफी डराने वाले हैं। एक बार फिर कोरोना के वापस लौटने का डर लोगों के मन में बैठ रहा है। चीन में कोरोना के जो हालात हैं, उनके पीछे अमिक्रोन वेरिएंट के BF.7 स्ट्रेन को एक अहम कारण माना जा रहा है। Omicron BF.7: ऐसा माना जा रहा है कि चीन (China) में कोरोनावायरस (Coronavirus) के बढ़ते प्रकोप के पीछे ओमिक्रोन (Omicron) का सब-वेरिएंट BF.7 (BF.7 Subvariant) है, जिसने पूरे देश में संक्रमण के कारण हाहाकार मचाया हुआ है। हालांकि, ये पहला मौका नहीं है, जब BF.7 चर्चाओं में है। अक्टूबर में भी ये सब-वेरिएंट अमेरिका और यूरोपिय देशों में खबरों में रहा था। चीन ने जब कोरोनावायरस को लेकर अपनी जीरो कोविड पॉलिसी (Zero Covid Policy) लागू की तब दुनियाभर में उसकी आलोचना हुई, यहां तक की वहां की जनता भी इसके विरोध में सड़कों पर उतार आई। तमाम विवादों के बाद आखिरकार जिनपिंग प्रशासन ने अपनी इस नीति में ढील दी और उसके बाद, जो हालात हैं, वो हमारे सामने हैं।

इस वेरिएंट ने 90 दिन में ही चीन में 60 फीसदी आबादी को संक्रमित कर दिया है।
