A study from Denmark shows that those who are unlucky can become infected with BA.1 and then with BA.2.
According to Danish findings, in rare cases it is possible to contract two different sub-variants of the omicron variant of the coronavirus one after the other. An infection with the BA.2 subtype can occur shortly after an initial BA.1 infection, the Danish health institute SSI wrote in a study published on Tuesday.
In general, however, it is assumed that this occurs relatively rarely and then especially in younger, unvaccinated people. According to the SSI, the scientists involved found 47 cases in which the same person became infected first with BA.1 and then with BA.2 over a period of 20 to 60 days. Most of them only experienced mild symptoms, none of them had to go to the hospital. In Denmark, the subtype BA.2 currently accounts for by far the largest proportion of new corona infections, according to the study this proportion is 88 percent.
