Experts warn that the COVID-19 virus has evolved into the KP.2 and KP.3 variants, which may interact with other strains in the future, potentially causing a new pandemic. While Taiwan still primarily deals with the JN.1 strain, the KP.2 variant is increasing at a rate of 7% per week in the US, followed closely by KP.3. Concerns arise as these variants compete in transmission and immune evasion capabilities, with potential impacts on Taiwan's outbreak as US students return to the island. Vigilance and adherence to preventive measures are advised, especially with concerns about the efficacy of current vaccines against these new variants.
