A New Coronavirus Subvariant

Los Angles Times: “Officially designated XBB.1.16, the subvariant also has attracted attention after anecdotal reports linking it to what has been a rare Covid-19 symptom: pink eye.”

“However, it remains unclear whether this symptom is more pronounced in Arcturus than earlier Omicron strains. The latest subvariant has not been shown to cause more severe illness.”
