New York City health officials<\/a> are warning residents that the infectious omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 may be more likely to infect people who have already been vaccinated or infected with COVID-19.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 now accounts for 73% of all sequenced COVID-19 cases in NYC,” the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene tweeted on Friday. ” XBB.1.5 is the most transmissible form of COVID-19 that we know of to date and may be more likely to infect people who have been vaccinated or already had COVID-19.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The department added that getting vaccinated against the virus, including receiving an updated booster shot, remains the best way to protect against hospitalization and death, including from new variants.<\/p>\n

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, XBB.1.5 accounts for 43% of cases in the U.S.<\/p>\n

In the first week of January, the subvariant accounted for about 30% of cases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

XBB.1.5, an offshoot of XBB, was first detected in October.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization<\/a> warned earlier this week that it may lead to an increased number of cases based on genetic characteristics and early growth rate estimates.<\/p>\n

Scientists have cautioned that the virus will surely keep evolving.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Our concern is how transmissible it is,” Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO\u2019s technical lead on COVID-19, said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The more this virus circulates, the more chances it will have to change,” she noted.<\/p>\n

Van Kerkhove said there is no data yet to prove that XBB.1.5 causes more severe disease<\/a>, but that the agency is working on a new risk assessment of the variant that it expects to release soon.<\/p>\n

Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
