U.S.NEWS – HV.1 was documented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in low numbers over the summer. But now the strain has the highest prevalence of any, claiming responsibility for about a quarter of new coronavirus cases in the U.S. as of late October. The strain is still a subvariant of omicron – as is every strain that’s in circulation. It’s a descendent of EG.5, which is the second most common variant in the U.S. at nearly 22% of new cases, according to estimates from the CDC. To be sure, health officials aren’t sounding the alarm on the latest variant. That’s because it appears to be very similar to EG.5, also known as “eris.”
