SUMMARY - Covid variant XEC, identified in the country of Germany in June of this year, has seen growth in Germany and other countries such as Denmark. It appears to have a slight transmission advantage over other recent Covid variants although whether that advantage translates into XEC becoming the eventual dominant strain remains to be seen.
