This variant, a descendant of the Omicron subvariant JN.1, has been designated a Variant Under Monitoring (VUM) by the World Health Organization due to its increasing global presence and potential implications for public health.update:Transmissibility: NB.1.8.1 appears to be more transmissible than previous variants contributing to rapid increases in case numbers in affected regions.Symptoms: Commonly reported symptoms include a severe sore throat described as “razor-blade throat fatigue, mild cough, fever, muscle aches, and congestion. Severity: Limited data is available on severity as weeks are required for infections to develop.  Seasonality.
