What is JN.1 sub-variant?
The first case of the JN.1 sub-variant in the country surfaced in August. The new variant is derived from BA.2.86, a sub-variant of Omicron. At the beginning of 2022, the main reason for the increase in corona cases was BA.2.86. BA.2.86 did not spread further, but it raised the concern of experts, because BA.2.86 had an additional mutation on the spike protein and, like it, an additional mutation on the spike protein of JN.1. Experts say that the increase in cases worldwide has revealed that JN.1 is a sub-variant of Omicro, which can easily infect people with strong immunity. The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) has revealed that the new variant is spreading rapidly.
