The Impressive TimesBeijing, May 14 , 2024 :The KP.2 sub-variant of Covid-19, which has become increasingly prevalent on a global scale, is unlikely to cause a new infection peak in China in the near future, the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration said on Tuesday. As of Sunday, KP.2-sequenced cases accounted for 0.05 percent to 0.30 percent of all locally sequenced cases reported each week in China, which is at an “extremely low” level, according to experts from the administration.
KP.2, a descendant of the currently prevalent JN.1 variant, has rapidly increased in proportion
among globally prevalent Covid-19 strains reported since February this year.
