Iota variant, [188] also known as lineage B.1.526, is one of the variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It was first detected in New York City in November 2020. The variant has appeared with two notable mutations: the E484K spike mutation, which may help the virus evade antibodies, and the S477N mutation, which helps the virus ...
The first highly publicized variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was called alpha (B.1.1.7). The variant began circulating in Great Britain in late 2020. ... Although the basic symptoms of COVID-19 ...
Here's what experts know so far about the new strains and their symptoms. This winter holiday season may see a COVID-19 surge fueled by a slate of emerging variants. Here's what experts know so ...
People with the COVID-19 infection may have different symptoms, and their symptoms may change over time. Three common clusters of symptoms have been identified: a respiratory symptom cluster with cough, sputum , shortness of breath , and fever; a musculoskeletal symptom cluster with muscle and joint pain, headache, and fatigue; and a cluster of ...
KP.2, KP.2.3, KP.3 and KP.3.1.1 are official names of the FLiRT variants that are circulating right now. While FLiRT took over JN.1 as the dominant variant , it's actually a descendant of JN.1.
In week 8, the variant was found to have a dominant share of 56.4% (758/1345) according to the interpretable results of a weekly genome sequencing survey comprising 0.9% of all COVID-19 positive tests, or 59.5% according to a variant-specific RT-PCR survey testing 54% of all the COVID-19 positive tests.

A new COVID-19 subvariant, known as XBB.1.16 but often called "Arcturus," has progressively become more viral here in the United States, accounting for 10% of infections through late April.
As has happened throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, new variants of the virus have emerged. Here's what to know about FLiRT and symptoms.
