SARS-CoV-2 is no different, the virus, found in 2019 has mutated several times giving birth to new variants and sub-variants. One of the most dangerous mutations that the virus went through was delta, the dominant strain which led to the ferocious second wave of COVID-19 in India. However, there was another variant which overpowered delta and became one of the most concerning strains of COVID-19 - Omicron, the variant of coronavirus which is carrying over 42 worrisome mutations in its spike protein, which makes it capable of infecting fully immunized individuals as well.
