First cases of newest Omicron subvariant found in US
Editor's Note
Three cases of the newest Omicron subvariant BA.2.75 have been detected on the West Coast, two in California and one in Washington, the July 11 Becker’s Hospital Review reports. The subvariant is also in India and 10 other countries.
The subvariant has a large number of mutations that may make it adept at spreading quickly and evading antibody protection and immunity from vaccination and prior COVID-19 infections.
It is too soon to tell whether it will outpace the BA.5 subvariant, the report notes.
