Delta variant of coronavirus's sub-lineages -- AY.1 and AY.2 -- are unlikely to be more transmissible than Delta, said Indian SARS-CoV-2 Consortium on Genomics, or INSACOG . There are no known significant properties of this mutation but since it is a Delta VOC sub-lineage, INSACOG will continue to monitor it, a recent bulletin stated. "It is likely that neither AY.1 nor AY.2 is more transmissible than Delta. INSACOG is also tracking the status and spread of Delta plus variant of Covid-19. The Delta Plus is a "variant of concern".
