With the advent of winter, a new subtype of the Corona virus, the JN.1 variant, is spreading rapidly. In this report, we learn about the order in which symptoms of the new Corona variants appear, including the JN.1 variant, according to the “kqed” website.
What are the largest coronavirus variants currently circulating?
Coronavirus cases this summer were driven by the EG.5 variant — the newer variant For the omicron variable For the Corona virus, some online have unofficially called the new EG.5 variant “Eris”.
After the summer of EG.5, a newer subvariant emerged to become the most prevalent HV.1 strain. But in December, another subvariant — called JN.1 — appeared to be spreading wildly.
When you’re dealing with strains like HV.1 and JN.1, it’s important to remember that each new subvariant is more easily transmitted, said Dr. Peter Chin Hong, an infectious disease expert at UCLA.
“Every time a new variant appears in the ‘coronavirus tree of life,’ it must have at its core a superpower that makes it stronger than the rest and that power is overall transmissibility,” Chen Hong said.
Aside from its contagiousness, the CDC said there is “no evidence that JN.1 poses an increased public health risk compared to other variants currently circulating” and “there is no indication of increased risk of JN.1 at this time.”
What are the symptoms of current coronavirus variants?
No unexpected symptoms have been reported so far for either JN.1 or HV.1 – they’re the same coronavirus symptoms you’re used to hearing about from previous variants.
Ranking of symptoms of current Corona variants
Like other Omicron variants, many cases start with a sore throat, followed by congestion and a dry cough and from there, “other symptoms may also join — headache, runny nose, muscle pain, diarrhea or upset stomach, fever, and loss of sense of smell,” Chen Hong said.
The characteristics of an infected person can also shape the symptoms they experience. A person who is 75 or older or an immunocompromised person who has not received the new coronavirus vaccine “may experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.”
According to the CDC, this is the full list of possible symptoms of the new variants:
– Fever or chills
– cough
– Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
– exhaustion
– Muscle or body pain
– headache
– New loss of sense of taste or smell
– sore throat
– Congestion or runny nose
– Nausea or vomiting
– Diarrhea.
