The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said this week that the new COVID-19 variant JN.1 doesn’t appear to show any new symptoms.

Research from officials in the United Kingdom in a recently published report indicates that new COVID-19 symptoms may have emerged, including anxiety and worry. Several media reports last week claimed that the British survey suggested that JN.1 was causing those new symptoms, although that report did not specifically mention the JN.1 variant and only made a general reference to COVID-19.
