Each class of variant includes the possible attributes of lower classes; variant status might escalate or deescalate based on scientific evidence. This page will be updated as needed to show the variants that belong to each class.

1- Variants of Interest
2- Variants of Concern
3-Variants of High Consequence

Variant of Interest
(1)
A variant with specific genetic markers that have been associated with changes to receptor binding, reduced neutralization by antibodies generated against previous infection or vaccination, reduced efficacy of treatments, potential diagnostic impact, or predicted increase in transmissibility or disease severity.

Possible attributes of a variant of interest:

Specific genetic markers that are predicted to affect transmission, diagnostics, therapeutics, or immune escape
Evidence that demonstrates it is the cause of an increased proportion of cases or unique outbreak clusters
Limited prevalence or expansion in the US or in other countries.

Variant of Concern
(1)
A variant for which there is evidence of an increase in transmissibility, more severe disease (increased hospitalizations or deaths), significant reduction in neutralization by antibodies generated during previous infection or vaccination, reduced effectiveness of treatments or vaccines, or diagnostic detection failures.

Possible attributes of a variant of concern:

In addition to the possible attributes of a variant of interest

Evidence of impact on diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines
Widespread interference with diagnostic test targets
Evidence of substantially increased resistance to one or more class of therapies
Evidence of significant decreased neutralization by antibodies generated during previous infection or vaccination
Evidence of reduced vaccine-induced protection from severe disease
Evidence of increased transmissibility
Evidence of increased disease severity

Variant of High Consequence
(1)
A variant of high consequence has clear evidence that prevention measures or medical countermeasures (MCMs) have significantly reduced effectiveness relative to previously circulating variants.

Possible attributes of a variant of high consequence:

In addition to the possible attributes of a variant of concern

Impact on Medical Countermeasures (MCM)
Demonstrated failure of diagnostics
Evidence to suggest a significant reduction in vaccine effectiveness, a disproportionately high number of vaccine breakthrough cases, or very low vaccine-induced protection against severe disease
Significantly reduced susceptibility to multiple Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) or approved therapeutics
More severe clinical disease and increased hospitalizations
A variant of high consequence would require notification to WHO under the International Health Regulations, reporting to CDC, an announcement of strategies to prevent or contain transmission, and recommendations to update treatments and vaccines.

Currently there are no SARS-CoV-2 variants that rise to the level of high consequence.
