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>

The variant was detected in two passengers who had arrived at Israel&#39;s Ben Gurion airport.</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>
