&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;BF.7, the new Omicron subvariant which has triggered a surge in China, has also been detected in India. Till the filing of this article, India hadrecorded only four BF.7 cases. New precautionary measures taken by the government, including advisories on wearing masks in public places and avoiding crowds, are mostly restricted to screening and restrictions at airports&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The highly infectious BF.7 has caused widespread concern. However, some crucial questions need to be answered only to keep it safe beyond panicky. In an interview with Newsclick, professor Satyajit Rath, an eminent immunologist and adjunct faculty at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, answers a few such questions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Newsclick (NC): India passed through several other waves caused by other variants, including Omicron and Delta. Do you think the population will also be able to defy BF.7 due to the prior exposures?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Rath: I don&amp;rsquo;t think there is any evidence that the BF.7 variant of SARS-CoV-2 is likely to cause awave in India. There is no evidence either of it being particularly more transmissible, more capable of evading previous immune responses and more likely to cause severe illness than other variants of the Omicron lineage (unlike the Delta variant). There is no evidence, systematic or anecdotal, that hospitalisations in India for COVID-19-like illnesses are on the rise.&lt;/p&gt;

Prof. Satyajit Rath, National Institute of Immunology, interviewed by Sandipan Talukdar (Newsclick.in)

-Newsclick.in There is no evidence either of the subvariant being particularly more transmissible than other variants of the Omicron lineage, according to the eminent immunologist. BF.7, the new Omicron subvariant which has triggered a surge in China, has also been detected in India. Till the filing of this article, India hadrecorded only four BF.7 cases. New precautionary measures taken by the government, including advisories on wearing masks in public places and avoiding crowds, are mostly restricted to screening and restrictions at airports The highly infectious BF.7 has caused widespread concern. However, some crucial questions need to be answered only to keep it safe beyond panicky. In an interview with Newsclick, professor Satyajit Rath, an eminent immunologist and adjunct faculty at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, answers a few such questions. Newsclick (NC): India passed through several other waves caused by other variants, including Omicron and Delta. Do you think the population will also be able to defy BF.7 due to the prior exposures? Rath: I don’t think there is any evidence that the BF.7 variant of SARS-CoV-2 is likely to cause awave in India. There is no evidence either of it being particularly more transmissible, more capable of evading previous immune responses and more likely to cause severe illness than other variants of the Omicron lineage (unlike the Delta variant).
