New Covid variants are circulating. What do we know and will the Omicron-specific booster be effective?

"Health authorities have warned of a new wave of Covid-19 cases and
hospitalisations being driven by Omicron subvariants XBB and BQ.1. The latest
federal health department data shows that as of 25 October, the average
national daily cases increased by 2.2% compared with the previous week.

So how worried should we be about these variants, and do they affect advice
around booster doses?"
