Abstract
The “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2” (SARS-CoV-2) is also known as “coronavirus disease 19” (COVID-19). It originated in Wuhan, Hubei province, People’s Republic of China, in December 2019; and, it spread worldwide causing a global pandemic. Genetic variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been emerging and circulating around the world throughout the COVID-19 pandemic namely the original (wild-type), the Alpha variant, the Beta variant, the Delta variant, and the Gamma variant. In third wave, the notorious variant was the Delta variant; it was well-known for quick transmissibility, causing high morbidity and mortality. In late November 2021, the Omicron variant was first detected in South Africa.
