Here's the latest variant picture for Queensland.

The XBB.1.5.* "Kraken" clan (29%) has remained dominant.

The CH.1.1 "Orthrus" clan (18%) appears to be fading.

The "Deltacron" XBC.* clan (17%) is rising sharply, driven by the new XBC.1.6.3 sub-lineage (see below).

XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (11%) appeared in late March and is growing steadily.

The sample volumes seem representative up to April 5, which is lagging NSW by several weeks.
