Additionally, recent cuts in public health funding have further hindered data collection and monitoring efforts. NB. 1.8. 1 has demonstrated the fastest growth among circulating variants over the past month. If a VOI causes more serious public health consequences, health authorities designate it as a Variant of Concern (VOC). Global health agencies are actively monitoring the variants rapid spread and genetic characteristics, even though the exact implications of these mutations remain unclear. Author Denisse Sandoval These recombinant variants are the result of previous variants merging, which is common due to the frequent mutations observed in SARS-CoV-2. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified XFG as a variant under monitoring (VUM). According to data from the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the variant accounted for 42% of genetically tested COVID-19 samples from June 8 to June 21. Several Southeast Asian countries have reported rising infections and hospitalizations associated with this variant.
