A sub-variant of the Omicron strain of coronavirus has been classified as a "variant of interest", by the World Health Organization, because of "its rapidly increasing spread".

JN.1 has been found in many countries around the world, including India, China and the United States.

It is currently the fastest-growing variant in the United States accounting for 15 to 29% of infections.

The UK Health Security Agency said JN.1 currently made up around 7% of positive Covid tests analysed in a lab
