Based on genome sequencing analysis, the Indian SARS-COV-2 Genomics Consortia (INSACOG) has identified very few recombinant variants of COVID.
COVID in Children | Guidelines for Management of COVID-19 in Children
Covid-19 virus has affected many children during the second wave. Many factors play a role in COVID in children and the management of COVID in children. Therefore, it is highly essential for parents to know and understand the symptoms in children.

‘On the global scenario, the INSACOG said two recombinant variants - XD and XE - are being closely monitored worldwide. XD, which has an Omicron S gene incorporated into a Delta genome, is found primarily in France.’
The INSACOG said that the incidences of suspected recombinants and the possible public health relevance are being closely monitored. The number of new Covid-19 cases has decreased for a second consecutive week, with a 16% decline during the week. The number of new deaths also decreased as compared to the previous week, said INSACOG on global Covid scenario.
Recombinant Variants of COVID
"XE is a BA.1/BA.2 recombinant, with the majority of the genome including the S gene belonging to BA.2. XE shows slightly higher transmission rate. XE also shows a higher growth rate above that of BA.2; however, this finding requires further confirmation," it said.The INSACOG conducts genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 across the country through sequencing of samples from sentinel sites and international passengers arriving in India. A total of 2,05,807 samples have been sequenced by INSACOG as on April 8. INSACOG told that a total 2,04,697 sequences have been analyzed so far.
