The BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron has produced more mutated offshoots, which are gaining foothold in the United States, according to Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Here, the one to watch just based on mutations is B.2.12.1 which has spike mutations S704L and L452Q on top of BA.2 background. Previously, L452R appeared to have an important role in promoting the spread of Delta and also showed up in Epsilon and Lambda. 6/17

The CDC data shows that BA.2.12.1 causes 19 per cent of the new cases in the US last week, up from 11 per cent case a week before and seven per cent a week before that.
