Quick Glance: Surge in COVID Variant Cases

Cases of a COVID-19 variant have tripled in the U.S. in recent weeks, according to federal tracking.

The BA.2.86 variant, previously considered uncommon, is projected to make up nearly one-tenth of circulating viruses.

Updated COVID-19 vaccines are expected to increase protection against BA.2.86, the CDC stated.
