The UK is being warned to brace for a "swarm" of new Covid variants, which are predicted to reach the nation by next month.
A leading expert says sub-variants of the Omicron strain are quickly spreading and could hit the UK and US by November. Multiple variants are reportedly emerging at once - and are not reacting to immunity.
Cornelius Roemer, a computational biologist with Biozentrum, told The Independent: “The trends we’re seeing at the moment are very different from what’s happened in the past. Omicron was maybe the first variant that was good at evading immunity and that’s why it caused such a large wave."
