"FU.1: The new COVID strain that could spark another wave
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, a new strain of the virus has emerged, which experts are warning could be the next significant threat.
The FU.1 variant, also known as XBB.1.16.1.1, has primarily been detected in India and Asia and is a mutant Omicron recombinant. Alarmingly, it is spreading worldwide at a rate 50% faster than the current dominant strain, Arcturus (XBB.1.16).
The FU.1 variant has already made its way to several countries, including the United States, China, Thailand, and the UK. In the U.S., it has been particularly successful in Hawaii and New York."
