COVID-19 New Subvariant: COVID-19 cases are increasing again across the world. In Europe, the new sub-variant XEC of Covid-19 has started spreading rapidly. The recently reported COVID-19 sub-variant XEC is now attracting the attention of health officials globally.
The first case of XEC was found in Germany, but it has since been reported in the Netherlands and other parts of Western Europe. Doctors and scientists are keeping a close eye on XEC, as it is believed that this subvariant may prove to be even more dangerous than KP.3.1.1.
This Subvariant Is Currently The Most Common Strain In US
According to the Los Angeles Times, a California doctor said that XEC is currently spreading on a small scale, but it could spread rapidly. However, he said that it could take several weeks or months to spread globally and domestically.
Experts have warned that XEC could become the next major variant. However, it may take months to reach a high level. XEC cases are being found in the US, but it is not being tracked individually on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's variant tracker website, which is worrying.
