Public health experts are tracking a new COVID-19 variant that some warn could contribute to a spike in new cases as we enter the summer months.

The strain, known as NB.1.8.1, is a descendant of the omicron variant, and global health officials suspect it’s contributing to rising cases and hospitalizations in other countries where it’s more prominent. NB.1.8.1 has been detected in the U.S., and although it is not one of the top circulating strains, some experts believe it could surpass the others.
