Here's the latest variant picture for the United Kingdom.

XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (39%) is driving the current wave, taking over from XBB.1.5 "Kraken" (26%).

XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (21%) is also rising.

The mix of very different variants poses a raised immediate re-infection risk for anyone relying on natural immunity from a recent infection.
