Amid the increase in Covid-19 cases in many states of India, four new variants have been found in the country. ICMR Director Dr. Rajiv Bahl said that the variants sequenced from South and West India are of LF.7, XFG, JN.1 and NB.1.8.1 series. Samples are being taken from other places and sequencing is being done so that new variants can be investigated. The cases are not very serious and people should not worry, just be cautious. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also not considered them to be worrisome. However, it has been categorized as a variant kept under surveillance. This variant is seen in the increasing cases of Covid in other Asian countries including China. Spike protein mutations like A435S, V445H, and T478I of NB.1.8.1 spread faster than other variants. They are also not affected by immunity built against Covid. The JN.1 variant of Covid is the most common in India. This variant is found in more than half of the samples in testing. After this, cases of BA.2 (26 percent) and Omicron sublineage (20 percent) variants are also found. JN.1 variant weakens immunity

According to Johns Hopkins University in the US, JN.1 spreads more easily than other variants, but it is not very serious. It remains the most common variant in many parts of the world. Symptoms of the JN.1 variant can last from a few days to weeks. If your symptoms persist for a long time, you may have long-term covid.
