Description
A series of COVID-19 variants from the Omicron JN.1 lineage known as FLiRT, which includes the KP.2 and KP 1.1 variants, is quickly spreading in the United States, with new mutations that boost their contagiousness.
According to media reports, the symptoms are broadly comparable to those of previous Omicron infections, and hospitalization rates are minimal. KP.2 is allegedly more common than the JN.1 form, and while KP.1.1 is present in the United States, it is less common.
According to the Infectious Disease Society of America, the acronym "FLiRT" is derived from the mutations' scientific names.
About The Omicron JN.1 Lineage
The 'Omicron JN.1 lineage' is a variety of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that is derived from the Omicron variant, also known as B.1.1.529. Chinese researchers recognized the lineage, which led to the label 'JN.1'. This variation has a number of mutations that distinguish it from the normal Omicron lineage. However, the severity, infectiousness, and potential vaccination resistance of this variation remain unknown, necessitating ongoing observation and investigation.
