"BA.4.6, a subvariant of the Omicron COVID variant which has been quickly
gaining traction in the US, is now confirmed to be spreading in the UK.
The latest briefing document on COVID variants from the UK Health Security
Agency (UKHSA) noted that during the week beginning August 14, BA.4.6 accounted
for 3.3 percent of samples in the UK. It has since grown to make up around 9
percent of sequenced cases.
Similarly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, BA.4.6
now accounts for more than 9 percent of recent cases across the US. The variant
has also been identified in several other countries around the world.
So what do we know about BA.4.6, and should we be worried? Let's take a look at
the information we have so far."
