The FLiRT family, including KP.2 and JN.1, are strains of the Omicron subvariant. JN.1 has been the dominant COVID-19 strain since late December 2023.
FLiRT subvariants, like JN.1, generally cause milder symptoms similar to the common cold. Fever and more severe symptoms can occur in moderate to severe cases.
Medical experts anticipated a rise in COVID-19 cases during the summer after record-low hospitalizations in May 2023. Monitoring new variants remains crucial for public health responses.
PCR or rapid antigen testing is essential for distinguishing between COVID-19 and other illnesses. Monitoring symptoms and timely testing are key to preventing virus transmission.
