COVID-19 cases are rising globally due to the new variant NB.1.8.1, but the public health risk is currently assessed as low.

The COVID-19 variant NB.1.8.1 is increasing infections in China and has been detected in the U.S.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, rapidly accumulates mutations, influencing the emergence of new variants like Omicron.

Experts warn that another COVID surge is likely this summer despite state leaders' assurances that the pandemic is over.

COVID-19 is expected to resurge this summer due to increased concentrations in wastewater and a more transmissible variant.
