A new Covid variant is spreading fast in the US, and it’s “highly contagious”, a doctor who specializes in infectious diseases has warned.
New variant JN.1 is a heavily mutated new strain and is now the fastest-growing variant in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The variant currently accounts for more than one-fifth of all infections in the US. And while the HV.1 sub variant is the dominant strain right now, JN.1 is not far behind.
HV.1 accounted for 30 percent of Covid cases in the US during the two week period ending on December 9, according to the CDC, and JN.1 made up about 21 percent.
