A new family of COVID variants is on the rise in the U.S. and abroad& mdash one experts say is likely responsible for a rising tide of infections and hospitalizations. 

On Wednesday the World Health Organization designated EG.5 a & ldquo variant of interest& rdquo due to its steady global growth, upgrading it from the less concerning category of " variant under monitoring." Reports of EG.5, detected in 45 countries so far, nearly doubled from mid-June through mid-July,    according to an Aug. 3 WHO situation report. 

While genetic sequencing and reporting is at an all-time low, the largest number of EG.5 samples so far have come from China, according to a    WHO risk evaluation published Wednesday. The U.S., Korea, Japan, Canada, the U.K., France, Singapore, Australia, Portugal, and Spain have all reported at least 100 cases, according to the report.
