As COVID cases rise again, what do you need to know about the new FLiRT variants?
FLirt Covid 19 Virus: Scientists are studying the FLiRT variants, subvariants of the Omicron lineage, which may be more contagious and evade immunity better. The FLiRT variants, derived from the JN.1 variant, are demonstrating increased 'fitness' and may become the dominant subvariants in Australia. Booster shots targeting Omicron XBB.1.5 provide significant protection against severe illness.

Scientists develop new class of antiviral drugs to fight against Covid infection
Scientists from the University of Alberta in Canada have made a significant breakthrough in the fight against COVID-19 by discovering a new class of antiviral drugs. Published in the journal Nature, their research reveals that these drugs target the pathway activated by SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, to inhibit the production of interferon and peroxisomes in cells. By stimulating interferon production, these drugs can effectively prevent infected cells from producing more viruses and limit the severity and spread of the disease.
