Here are some of the distinct signs and symptoms that are linked with this variant: Kraken variant, which is also known as the XBB.1.5 variant is currently triggering fresh cases in the United States. Kerkhove explains that an additional mutation in the spike protein of the variant is one plausible explanation behind the improved transmission rate of XBB.1.5. Yes, according to the WHO technical lead on COVID Maria Van Kerkhove, XBB.1.5 variant is the most transmissible variant of COVID at the moment. Is it more dangerous than other variants that are circulating at the moment? This directly means that the ones who are fully vaccinated can also get infected by the virus XBB.1.5 variant.
