Pickleball has become the fastest-growing sport among people of all ages.
According to medical health experts, another surge of COVID-19 variants is on the rise. COVID FLiRT, also known as KP.2, is the newest mutation after JN.
“FLiRT is a cousin of the JN variant, it started as an offshoot of the JN variant but the most important thing about these variants lately has been immune invasion. They’re able to escape the antibodies and the immunity that the body can mount,” said Dr. Raghav. “COVID is highly infectious and quickly spreads from one person to another mostly in congregated settings,” said Dr. Raghav. “As people get out and mingle more this summer…the immunity starts waning down and that’s how you become more vulnerable to get an infection or reinfection with COVID.”
“These are the patients we need to be very watchful of COVID-19 infection risks-- especially if they’re traveling to an area where the rates are high,” said Dr. Raghav. , KP.2, was responsible for more than 20% of new infections in the last two weeks. While there are dozens of variants before FLiRT, the CDC projects that there are more new variants of SARS-CoV-2 expected to continue to emerge.
