It's unclear if the new subvariant causes any unfamiliar symptoms that haven't already been documented by other Omicron subvariants.

As part of a new risk evaluation released Wednesday, the World Health Organization bumped EG.5 to the same standing as XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.6, which are also members of the Omicron family tree.

It's unclear if the new subvariant causes any unfamiliar symptoms that haven't already been documented by other Omicron subvariants.

Thankfully, the rates of anosmia and ageusia seem to be dropping.
