The coronavirus variant named JN.1 has been causing concern among health experts and the public alike.

This sub-variant, first identified in Luxembourg, is a descendant of the Pirola variant (BA.2.86), which itself stems from the Omicron sub-variant.

It carries mutations in the spike protein that may increase its infectivity and ability to evade immune responses.

Symptoms associated with JN.1 are similar to those caused by previous strains of the virus, including fever, runny nose, sore throat, headache, and mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhoea.
