The Ministry of Health in Indonesia is monitoring the spread of the FLiRT variants, new subvariants of the Omicron lineage.

FLiRT variants, named KP.1 and KP.2, are dominant in the UK and spreading globally.

Concerns arise over increased transmissibility and potential evasion of vaccine immunity due to spike protein mutations.

Singapore's Health Minister reported a rise in Covid-19 hospitalizations driven by FLiRT subvariants, with nearly 300 cases detected in India.

Efforts are ongoing to vaccinate vulnerable seniors with additional doses.

The World Health Organization has classified FLiRT as a variant under monitoring.

No evidence suggests these variants cause more severe disease, and current vaccines remain effective.

In the US, FLiRT is the dominant strain, accounting for over 28% of cases.

The CDC is closely monitoring as the virus continues to evolve.

Staying updated on information and following health guidelines is crucial amidst rising infections.
