Australians warned a new Covid subvariant is spreading

Daily Mail  

Health experts have issued a warning about a new Covid subvariant that's set to spread across Australia as the country heads into winter. Cases of the Omicron subvariant XBB have already exploded in Queensland and made up 62 per cent of Covid infections recorded in the state last week. Cases of the Omicron subvariant XBB have exploded in Queensland, with the variant known to be more transmissible than other strains Dr Krispin Hajkowicz, an infectious diseases specialist at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, said XBB infections had been skyrocketing in the Sunshine State. 'I think we will see a heavy winter of all three viruses, really, of Covid, of influenza and RSV, that's certainly what happened in the northern hemisphere winter last year,' Dr Hajkowicz said.
