🇺🇸🇨🇳🦠❗️ BREAKING: A new, highly contagious COVID-19 variant, "NB.1.81," has been detected in the U.S., including in New York City, after causing a surge in hospitalizations in China and across Asia, the American CDC confirmed.

➡️ The variant was first identified in the U.S. in late March and early April through CDC airport testing of international travelers arriving in California, Washington State, Virginia, and New York City. Additional cases have since been reported in Ohio, Rhode Island, and Hawaii.

➡️ Travel data from infected individuals showed they had passed through China, Japan, South Korea, France, Thailand, the Netherlands, Spain, Vietnam, and Taiwan.

➡️ Although cases remain too few for full tracking, experts warn it spreads faster than current strains and may better evade vaccine protection. The head of Hong Kong’s Centre for Health Protection cautions the variant “should not be taken lightly.”
