The new variant is known as “ XEC ” and is more contagious than others.
Symptoms are thought to be the same cold or flu-like ones as before.
This means that the symptoms are less severe than earlier iterations of SARS-CoV strains, and that it spreads more quickly.
While the UKHSA has urged that testing isn't necessary, you can get tests from your local pharmacy.
