New COVID-19 FLiRT variants could cause summer spike

FLiRT variants make up a new group of COVID-19 mutations that are offshoots of the JN.1 variant, which has been the dominant strain in the US for months. They’re all part of the larger omicron family. Health officials are closely tracking these new FLiRT variants because currently, COVID-19 levels are some of the lowest they’ve been in the US since the start of the pandemic. “We haven’t seen the uptick, so there’s no wave coming yet,” said Uzo. That could change as this new group of mutations might threaten that downturn. Some studies suggest that the mutations of the FLiRT variants make them more transmissible, especially since it’s been several months since most people had their last booster shot.
