A new variant of COVID-19 may be driving up cases in some parts of the world, WHO says

  • COVID-19 cases are rising again globally, with the World Health Organization reporting this increase on Wednesday in specific regions.
  • The rise follows the circulation of a new variant called NB.1.8.1 or LP.8.1, which the WHO identified as a variant under monitoring by mid-May.
  • This variant has spread mainly in the eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and western Pacific, and it is now detected in travelers to multiple U.S. States.
  • By mid-May, nearly 11% of sequenced samples globally were the new variant, which is currently the dominant strain in the U.S., while experts see no increase in disease severity.
  • The WHO assesses the global public health risk as low and expects current vaccines to remain effective despite some countries reporting rises in cases and hospitalizations.
