"We’ve now been living with COVID for well over four years. Although there’s
still much to learn about SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID) at least one
thing seems clear: it’s here to stay.
From the original Wuhan variant, to Delta, to Omicron, and several others in
between, the virus has continued to evolve.
New variants have driven repeated waves of infection and challenged doctors and
scientists seeking to understand this changing virus’ behaviour.
Now, we are faced with a new group of variants, the so-called “FLiRT” variants,
which appear to be contributing to a rising wave of COVID infections around
Australia and elsewhere. So where have they come from, and are they cause for
concern?"
