5/n
XBB.1.5 is at about 88% of cases now. There are a few new subvariants (XBB.1.16, XBB.1.9.1) which are descendants of XBB.1.5 that are being watched around the world. In India, XBB.1.16 is dominant and it is starting to be seen in Europe and North America. XBB.1.16 may have a growth advantage over XBB.1.5. It is unknown if these new variants will cause a new wave of infection or if our collective immunity wall will continue to protect us against them.
