China 🇨🇳 Detects First XEC Recombinant Variant (KS.1.1/KP.3.3) in Liaoning Province. Image
China's Liaoning Province has reported the first case of the XEC recombinant variant (KS.1.1/KP.3.3), a development that has raised significant concern globally.
XEC, initially identified in Germany, is now closely monitored as it begins to spread.
According to a California-based physician, XEC is "just getting started" and could take weeks or months to significantly affect global and domestic case numbers.
While the variant is "definitely taking charge," experts warn it may take time before it reaches high levels of prevalence.
According to Raj Narayanan, a variant tracker and Assistant Dean of Research and Associate Professor at NYITCOM at Arkansas State University, the XDV.1 lineage is currently the most widely circulating variant in China. Image
