Covid-19 sub-variant JN.1: Why are all Covid variants detected in December? | Know all | Oneindia
Covid-19 saw three big mutations in December of 2020: Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), and Gamma (P.1).
A year later, in December 2021 the Omicron variant sent the world back into their homes just months after lockdowns began to ease.
The next year, in December of 2022, while there was no emergence of a new major variant, we saw the rise of subvariants such as BA.2 and BA.5, all classified within the Omicron branch of the coronavirus.
And now we have the JN.1 variant, which also belongs to the Omicron lineage.

India has crossed 7,000 active COVID-19 cases, with Kerala reporting the highest spike and three new deaths. The XFG variant, a sub-lineage of Omicron with strong immune evasion, has been detected across the country, raising global alarm. Originating in Canada, the variant carries four spike protein mutations. Globally, SARS-CoV-2 activity is rising, especially in South-East Asia and Eastern Mediterranean regions, with test positivity rates matching last year’s peak. WHO continues to monitor the spread amid poor ICU and hospitalization data from heavily affected regions.

Despite the pandemic no longer dominating headlines, COVID-19 continues to claim hundreds of American lives every week. New CDC data reveals that over 350 people are still dying each week, with the majority of deaths occurring among older adults. Shockingly, only 23% of U.S. adults have received the updated 2024–25 COVID vaccine—and just 13% of children.
