The XBB.1.5 omicron subvariant had a growth advantage over other circulating subvariants, and higher immune escape than previous ones, but for now there is no data on clinical severity, according to the World Health Organization. In its weekly epidemiological update, the agency said there are six omicron variants currently under monitoring and they accounted for 76.2% of sequences submitted to a central database in the week through Dec. 25, with BQ.1 accounting for most of those or 53.4%.
