Marin County health officials report the spread of a new COVID-19 omicron variant, JN.1, which is estimated to account for 20% of cases in the county and up to 50% of U.S. cases. The variant is more transmissible but not linked to more severe illness. Despite the availability of a vaccine effective against JN.1, only half of Marin's most vulnerable population has been vaccinated.
