Abstract:

After “Deltacron” started making headlines and fuelling panic in early January as an alleged hybrid between two COVID-19 variants (Delta and Omicron), it turned out to be a mistake. Upon inspection, multiple researchers said the sequence appears to be a “contamination,” “lab error” or “artifact.” Now, experts advise people to avoid using misleading and panic-inducing terminology.
