"Unveiling JN.1: Understanding the New COVID Variant and Its Impact"
TL;DR Summary
The new dominant COVID-19 strain, JN.1, has become the most widely circulated version of the virus, accounting for up to 68% of current cases. It can infect vaccinated individuals and those previously infected with COVID-19. Symptoms are similar to other variants and include runny nose, sore throat, cough, fatigue, fever, and muscle aches. The CDC recommends isolating for five days from the start of symptoms and wearing a high-quality mask when around others. The surge in cases is linked to the return to school and work after the holiday break, prompting some hospital systems to reinstate masking rules.
