A new mutant called Aiho was announced in the French city of Marseille, and that mutant has 46 mutations, giving it a high ability to spread and evade the body’s immune system, and to resist current vaccines similar to Omicron.

And the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”, quoted Professor Philip Calson, director of the unit that revealed the spread of the mutant, saying that there have been several cases in Marcel, which amounted to 12 cases since the mutant appeared in mid-December.

The first case of the Aihu mutant was a person coming from Cameroon, where the mutant is believed to have originated.

The mutant has both the E480K mutation, which evades the immune system, and the N501Y mutation, which gives it a high ability to spread.

Mutant discoverers believe there is a distant connection between Iho and the Omicron, which appeared in South Africa.

Aiho is weak in competition with Omicron with a low number of cases, while Omicron patients account for 60% of cases in France.
