New Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 'most transmissible' COVID version: WHO
ZUMAPRESS.com
Experts say XBB.1.5 is just as skilled at dodging antibodies from vaccines and infection as the XBB and XBB.1 variants and binds more tightly to cells, which gives it a growth advantage. “The more this virus circulates the more opportunities it will have to change,” Van Kerkhove added. “We do expect further waves of infection around the world but that does not have to translate into further waves of death because our countermeasures continue to work.”As XBB.1.5 is working toward becoming the dominant COVID strain in the US, China is battling its own national surge of cases.
US and global health officials say Beijing has not been forthcoming enough with information about its current spike in infections.
