In genome sequencing, the highest number of cases of new corona variants have been found in India. 

XBB.1.16

The XBB.1.16 variant, according to experts, was discovered in indian travelers from Singapore, America, and Brunei. In this instance, the recent increase in new corona instances in india may be caused by this subvariant. Additionally, it's possible that india is where all of these variations first appeared before spreading to other nations.

Experts claim that the coronavirus's new variation XBB.1.16 is a sub-variant of the XBB.1 variant. The coronavirus XBB.1 variant was very contagious, and this new sub-variant can spread to new individuals even faster. This explains why this variant can rapidly produce a high number of new corona patients.

All the rest of the corona variants are heavy

The expert stated that both of these sub-variants are made from XBB and then XBB.1, rather than this new variant being made from the previous sub-variant XBB.1.5. In india, only the XBB variant is currently responsible for novel corona cases, and the abrupt rise in daily cases could be related to the XBB.1.16 or XBB.1.5 subvariants. For more precise details, more samples need to be tested. Any other corona variant that is prevalent in india is defeated by the XBB.1.16 subvariant, so if another variant enters a person's body, it stops him.
