South Africa has found its first case of a coronavirus infection caused by the new, XBB.1.5 variant, nicknamed the 'kraken variant' by some for its ability to spread. | News24_Business

First XBB.1.5 detected in SA today by Stellenbosch University, Network for Genomics Surveillance in South Africa . XBB.1.5=1% . Isolate from 27-Dec-2022. Interesting, two others assigned as BA.2.75 with extra Spike F486P mutation. Tweet 1/2XBB.1.5 has quickly become the dominant strain in the US and has been detected in at least 28 other countries, according to the WHO.

It’s yet to be identified in China, which is currently undergoing a surge in infections after relaxing strict controls that limited the impact of previous waves of Covid in the country. No impact on cases, hospitalisations or deaths have been seen in South Africa so far, de Oliveira said. In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
