A Vancouver expert weighs in on the subvariant that is ripping across the United States.
The spread of a new subvariant of the highly transmissible Omicron coronavirus strain has sparked concern across the globe -- but a Vancouver expert says the traditional safety precautions will help to slow its spread in B.C.
While 24 copies of the recently-detected subvariant have been posted in the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data in Canada, the lineage has a "mutation that is spreading rapidly in other jurisdictions," she explained. Scientists haven't noticed a significant change in symptoms with XBB.1.5 but it is showing a "transmission advantage," said Otto.
To slow its spread, the long-standing COVID-19 rules apply: get your booster shot when you can, wear a mask in cozy or crowded indoor environments, and invest in improved air ventilation systems.
