The coronaviruses that are found in Australia and South Africa are different from the ones that are found in the US and may make it more difficult for scientists to understand the virulence and transmissibility of the coronaviruses.
The new Omicron has less than half the number of mutations.

The standard omicron variant has 30 different types of mutations, but the new lineage has only 14 of them, according to the acting chief health officer.
The S-gene dropout is a genetic quirk of omicron that makes it easier to detect using standard Covid-19 tests.
This genetic change means that it will be harder to keep a track of using standard tests and may require more research.
The traveler who arrived from South Africa on Saturday had a new lineage.
The impact of the variant on the severity of the disease is unknown.
The discovery of the altered variant is going to lead to improvements in people's awareness of the potential spread of omicron in all communities.
The Financial Times reported on Tuesday that researchers in Canada, Australia and South Africa have been analyzing the S-gene dropout in Omicron's spinoff. It is not clear if the omicron is the same one. The standard omicron variant has been labeled as BA.1 by researchers.
The number is big.
87.31%. The percentage of eligible Australians who have been fully vaccined against Covid-19 is according to the tracker.
Scientists have discovered a harder-to- detect version of Omicron.
Experts say that the Omicron Covid genetic variation is not a new variant.
