A new set of COVID-19 variants, collectively named FLiRT, are spreading across the United States and have been detected in various states including Arizona and Wisconsin. These variants, which were first identified through wastewater surveillance, now constitute more than 30% of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. The KP.2 variant, part of the FLiRT group, is particularly noted for its prevalence. Health experts are concerned about the low vaccination rates and the potential for these variants to cause a new wave of infections. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health experts are urging the public to stay updated with vaccinations and remain vigilant.
