Experts say the new BA.2.86 variant requires intense monitoring and vigilance that many of its predecessors did not. That's because it has even greater potential to escape the antibodies that protect people from getting sick, even if you've recently been infected or vaccinated. There have only been about a dozen cases worldwide of the new variant. It is not yet known if it will be transmissible enough to cause a surge. |
