New Omicron Sub-variant Not Gaining Traction
Dr. Clay Marsh reported at Gov. Justice’s briefing that BA.2 the stealth Omicron sub-variant remains rare in the state with very few cases detected. He noted about half the states have reported cases but it has made little progress nationally, while Omicron remains over 95 percent of cases. Vaccinations and natural immunity likely curb its spread, though the virus continues to mutate and could challenge vaccines if a resistant mutation arises.
