There's a new strain of COVID-19 causing spikes in Europe and Asia. Doctors believe that will also happen in the U.S. soon.
There's a new strain of COVID-19 affecting parts of Europe and Asia. That often means we'll see it soon. Dr. Joseph Chang, the chief medical officer at Parkland Health, joined Good Day to talk about the BA.2 variant and explain what experts know about it so far.The latest COVID-19 strain is unfortunately starting to gain momentum in the United States.
One study suggests BA.2, known as stealth omicron, first showed up in this country in early January. Now it makes up 50-70% of all new cases.RELATED:"Yea, here we are again. Cases are going up in Europe. It is now the dominate strain there, the BA.2," said Dr. Joseph Chang, the chief medical officer at Parkland Health. "We’re definitely already seeing it here. So, it would be naive to think we wouldn’t see any effect.
Experts believe that if there is a spike, it will not be as bad as the one caused by the first omicron strain.
