Hours after report of detection of the Omicron sub-variant XE, the Union Health Ministry said that the present evidence does not suggest the presence of the new variant.
“FastQ files in respect of the sample, which is being said to be 'XE' variant were analysed in detail by genomic experts of INSACOG who have inferred that the genomic constitution of this variant does not correlate with the genomic picture of 'XE' variant,” according to the health ministry.
