The World Health Organisation and the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) have designated Omicron subvariant BA.2.75 as a variant under monitoring (VUM).
Although the number of BA.2.75 cases is still relatively low, its unusual combination of mutations and its quick spread to at least ten countries has attracted the interest of scientists across the globe, and has led to these designations.
The ECDC has designated BA.2.75 as a Variant under Monitoring:
