The World Health Organization has classified it as a focus of attention due to its tremendous speed. It is the JN1 mutant that is striking the world, especially the United States of America and Europe, at a pace characterized by a scene of uncertainty.
In the latest developments, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that the JN1 mutant of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 represents about 62% of infections with the disease in the United States.
The centers added that the JN1 mutant is now the most common type in the United States, Europe, and the world, and its infection rates are rising sharply in Asia.
The centers said that there is currently no evidence that this variant causes more serious symptoms, and added that current vaccines are expected to enhance protection against it.
The centers announced that hospital admissions due to Covid-19 disease increased by 20.4% in the last week of 2023.
In December, the World Health Organization classified JN1 as a “variant of concern,” and said that current evidence shows that the risks of this variant to public health are low.
Symptoms of the new mutant range from coughing, sore throat, muscle pain, and headaches in general.
The mutant also has an ability to bypass the immune system compared to other mutants.
The GN1 mutant was discovered for the first time in the United States in September of last year, 2023, but it did not pose a serious threat to public health, as confirmed by the World Health Organization.
