The BA.5 variant from the summer wave of cases has now fallen to 83.1% of new infections.

"With the combination of the evolution of variants, as well as the seasonal aspects, that as we get into this coming late fall and winter, it is likely that we will see another variant emerge," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the president's outgoing chief medical adviser, said this weekof this subvariant have been detected in the U.S. to date across 25 states.

The CDC has yet to publish a specific figure for this strain. It estimates that the variant's umbrella lineage – BA.2.75 – has grown to 1.4% of cases nationwide. "BF.7 has one additional genetic change in the gene coding for the Spike protein in comparison to parental BA.5 lineage viruses. Data indicates that this specific genetic change could reduce the efficacy of Evusheld," CDC spokesperson Jasmine Reed told CBS news in a statement.

The CDC says 2.3% of cases nationwide are now from BF.7. That is up from 1.7% estimated last week, when the agency first began tracking the variant in its estimates. 11.9% are from BA.4.6, which the CDC began tracking several weeks ago.
