While the latest strain does look to spread easier, it also appears that symptoms are milder. Fewer deaths have also been reported.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) classified new strains, BA.4 and BA.5, as "variants of concern" and warned that covid is far from over.
"It is encouraging that we are not seeing an increase in intensive care unit admissions, but we are monitoring data closely and assessing the possible impact of subvariants BA.4 and BA.5," Dr Mary Ramsay from the UK Health Security Agency told the BBC on June 17. "As we enter summer, it's still important to remember that Covid-19 has not gone away, and to get vaccinated to reduce the risk of becoming seriously ill with the virus."
