A topic that is currently being discussed a lot is the newly discovered Corona variant called Nimbus (NB.1.8.1), which has been known since January 2025. This variation of the Omicron variant has been classified by the WHO as a “variant under observation,” which represents the lowest risk category. However, so far there is no evidence of more severe disease progression, so the situation here remains relatively relaxed [news.de].
