Highly mutated COVID variant BA.2.86 detected in 2 more countries, but 'pandemic in a different phase’, says WHO
Also read: New COVID-19 variant BA.2.86 more infectious, capable of causing infection in vaccinated individuals: US CDC A group of international scientists suggests that while monitoring BA.2.86 is essential, it's unlikely to trigger a devastating wave of severe disease and fatalities, considering the global immunity built up through vaccinations and previous infections. Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO's COVID-19 technical lead, stated that the number of cases is still relatively low. The fact that known cases aren't linked suggests that it is already circulating more widely, especially given reduced global surveillance.
