The KP.2 sub-variant of COVID-19, which has become increasingly prevalent on a global scale, is unlikely to cause a new infection peak in China in the near future, the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration said.
This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.
KP.2, a descendant of the currently prevalent JN.1 variant, has rapidly increased in proportion among globally prevalent COVID-19 strains reported since February this year.
However, experts have noted that KP.2 shows no notable changes in terms of its pathogenicity and immune escape capabilities.
They have advised the public to maintain good personal hygiene, wear face masks when necessary, and follow healthy diets.
