Israel said that it had recorded two cases of a new Covid variant. &quot;This variant is still unknown around the world,&quot; Israel&#39;s ministry of health said in a statement.</p>
<p>
The variant was detected in two passengers who had arrived at Israel&#39;s Ben Gurion airport.</p>
<p>
The new strain of Covid combines two sub-variants of the Omicron version of the Covid-19 virus- BA.1 and BA.2.&nbsp; There have been instances of hybrid versions of Covid which combine two variants, such as Deltacron, which have been found earlier as well.</p>

Israeli authorities said they are not worried at this stage. The two cases of the new strain have not required any special medical response, Israel&#39;s health ministry said, adding that the symptoms observed till now were mild- fever, headaches and muscle dystrophy.</p>
<p>
&quot;The phenomenon of combined variants is well known,&quot; Israel&#39;s Covid response head Salman Zarka said. &quot;At this stage, we are not worried about it leading to serious cases,&quot; he added.</p>
