US to witness new COVID wave in summers? All about the new variant KP.2
==========
Disease experts are concerned about a new variant called KP.2, which is causing a significant uptick in COVID-19 cases across the United States. KP.2 has become rampant in the US and is currently the leading cause of new infections, surpassing the previous variant JN.1. KP.2 has a higher ability to invade the immune system and is more evasive and fatal than previous variants. Lab research suggests that vaccines may be less effective against KP.2 compared to JN.1, but individuals previously infected with JN.1 may still have some protection against KP.2. The new variant is expected to cause a small COVID-19 wave in the US, similar to the previous JN.1 variant.
