Covid EG.5.1 or "Eris": Time to worry?

Aug 15

What is EG.5.1? Don’t worry about it. But what is it? There are many circulating strains of SARS-CoV-2; all are genomic subvariants of Omicron. EG.5.1 is one of these Omicron subvariants. You don’t need to worry about it. Can I worry about it, though?
