A new wave of concern has emerged globally as health authorities confirm the appearance of a new coronavirus variant named "Omicron Pi" in June 2025. This variant has been detected in parts of the USA, UK, India, Japan and several other Asian countries. Scientists are actively studying its behavior, transmission rate, and overall impact on public health.

These changes may allow it to spread faster and partially evade immunity from past infections or vaccinations. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) has not yet labeled it a “variant of concern,” it is under close global monitoring due to rising case numbers.
