The use of computers in analyzing various data and the detection of new FLiRT subvariants of the COVID-19 virus has not ceased. But one of the recent versions that has garnered attention across the world is the FLiRT version and its sub-version KP. 2, KP. 3, and KP. 1. 1.  

This blog will explain what the FLiRT subvariant is, as well as go over the specifics on the KP. 2, KP. 3, and KP. 1.1. 

The FLiRT subvariant is now an emerging variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that leads to COVID-19.  

Just like some other variants, FLiRT has succumbed to genetic changes that may have an impact on its spreading rate, virulence, and, or its ability to work its way around vaccines as well as treatments.  

A content analysis was conducted on the websites of the National Institute of Health and the World Health Organization, as well as on some indigenous organizations to assess if the new variants of the coronavirus were being monitored and studied. 

What is the KP. 2 Subvariant? 

While FLiRT variant refers to a member of the wave of further derivatives of the delta strain,  

KP. 2 subvariant is a separate mutation united under this label.  

There is some evidence from previous research that KP. 2, they may have an enhanced rate of transmission than previous strains.  

This means that it could be passed from one person to another with much ease, depending on the common signs and symptoms that people exhibit. 

Symptoms of the KP. 2 Subvariant: 

• Fever 
• Cough 
• Fatigue 
• Taste the changes or loss of taste 
• Muscle or body aches 
• Shortness of breath 

What is the KP. 3 Subvariant? 

Like KP. 2, the KP. 3 subvariant is another mutation within the FLiRT variant.  

KP. 3 may also have higher R-values showing it transmits easily and, in some instances, can even skip the immune response mounted by natural infection or vaccination. 

Symptoms of the KP. 3 Subvariant: 

• Sore throat 
• Runny nose 
• Headache 
• Nausea or vomiting 
• Diarrhea 
• Conjunctivitis 

What is the KP. 1. 1 Subvariant? 

KP. 1. 1 is one of the FLiRT variants and it has genetic differences when compared with KP. 2 and KP. 3. This can be a subvariant that may have certain factors that define how it transmits and its symptoms. 

Symptoms of the KP. 1. 1 Subvariant: 

• Like other COVID-19 variants, some of the symptoms associated with the current coronavirus variant include respiratory symptoms. 
• Due to the higher concentration cold water may potentially cause more pronounced gastrointestinal symptoms in the consumer. 
• High fever and chills 
• Persistent cough 

Potential Cures for FLiRT Subvariants: Two primary learning outcomes can therefore be identified, namely: Understanding of key concepts and principles of community’s expertise and knowledge of key professional stakeholders. 2, KP. 3, KP. 1. 1 

FLiRT subvariants of COVID-19 are already present in North America, but the management of the disease has not significantly changed from other variants. This includes: 

Antiviral Medications: Using drugs such as remdesivir may be applied. 

Monoclonal Antibodies: Measures for eliminating viral activity harmful to the organism.

Supportive Care: Should get proper rest along with plenty of fluids and limited time spent outside the home and take only over-the-counter medications that are needed for managing symptoms. 

Vaccination: Maintaining a current vaccination status to prevent severe illness, including having a flu vaccine if needed. 

The incubation period of FLiRT and other subvariants: 

The FLiRT subvariants KP. 2, KP. 3, and KP. 1. 1 reflects recent modifications of a viral pathogen leading to differences in the duration of the developing sickness, communicability, and formal manifestations.  

Time to monitor and isolation is central on calculating incubation period to check spread of these subvariants. 

Incubation Period of KP. 2 

The KP.2, like all prior identified SARS-CoV-2 virus lineages, 2 subvariant expresses an incubation duration of 3 to 7 days, with the optimum of roughly 5 days.  

This stage is called the period extending from when an individual is exposed to the disease and develops the first symptoms.  

Compared to the earlier variants, KP.2 has only a shorter incubation period, this means that individuals who caught it should isolate themselves immediately to avoid passing on the virus uncontrollably.  

This provides a clear description of signs such as fever, cough, and fatigue, which manifest quickly after a person becomes infected, which, in turn, underlines the importance of seeking medical help and getting tested for the virus if one has any doubts regarding exposure. 

Incubation Period of KP. 3 

KP. 3, another subvariant, has a similar incubation range of about 5 to 10 days- averagely 7 days.  

This may lead to the symptoms taking longer to manifest, especially regarding patients, which makes social distancing difficult and slower.  

However, as compared to IOL, KP.3 has a longer incubation period, although this has certain advantages. KP.3 remains high in the transmission level during the pre-symptomatic phase.  

This attribute points to the need for pre-emptive testing and precaution in sectors that are vulnerable to such infections like hospitals, schools, business places or any crowded business and learning institution. 

Incubation Period of KP. 1. 1 

KP. 1.1 demonstrated the largest variability among all the FLiRT subvariants; Incubation period of KP.1.1 reached 2 to 14 days with a median value of approximately 6 days.  

This significant extent is due to mutations in the subvariant and can be attributed to host factors like age, immunity, and comorbidities.  

The fluctuations in the incubation time make it a challenge when it comes to the containment of the virus, and this means that there is a need to employ several strategies that can adjust easily to the prevailing conditions.  

New cases can peak as late as the 14th day so all exposed individuals should be closely observed for a full 14 days so that they do not develop any new symptoms.
