Since the beginning of Covid-19, whenever the virus changes its form, it has been given some names, calling it a new variant. Now we also give you some important information related to this new variant.
- The JN.1 variant has currently spread to more than 41 countries.
- JN.1 variant belongs to the family of Omicron variants. This Omicron variant was the reason for the third wave of Corona in India in the year 2021.
- JN.1 is a sub-variant of Omicron's variant BA.2.86, called Pirola.
- On November 21, WHO had declared the 'Pirola' variant as VARIANT REQUIRING GLOBAL ATTENTION. That is, WHO had appealed to the whole world to be cautious about the 'Pirola' variant of Omicron.
- WHO had alerted the world because till now there have been more than 40 mutations in this VARIANT. The JN.1 variant is the first variant of Covid-19 which is changing so rapidly.
- The scary thing about the JN.1 variant is that the immunity obtained from the Corona vaccine does not work on this variant. That means even if you have taken the Corona vaccine, you can still suffer from this variant.
