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. The original (wild-type) SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has been changing; and, it has reproduced several new variants- the original (wild-type), the Alpha variant, the Beta variant, the Delta variant, the Gamma variant and the Omicron. the Omicron variant was first detected in South Africa in late November; and, it was found in Myanmar in January 2022 (Pyar, 2022).
