Omicron BA.5: No one is fully protected

Unread post by AHE »

Germany's Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the country's national public health organization, reported on June 9 that the omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 are growing faster than all other variants and concluded the two could soon be responsible for the majority of the country's cases.

In Portugal, however, BA.5 is already responsible for 80% of all new infections. The variant is more contagious than its predecessors, like BA.2. Along with being harder for neutralizing antibodies to locate, BA.5 is more transmissible than other omicron subvariants.
