A new subvariant of Omicron Covid-19 virus, BA 4/5, has been identified in the bodies of two Bangladeshis at the genome centre of Jashore University of Science and Technology (JUST). 

On Tuesday (21 June), a team of researchers at the centre identified the new covid subvariant through a partial (spike protein) genome sequence of the virus collected from the two infected.

One of the infected is aged 44 and the other is 79 years old.
