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.

The newly detected variant belongs to the Omicron family but carries several additional mutations.
