The mu variant of COVID-19 appears to no longer be spreading in the United States.

There have been zero reported new cases of the mu variant in the U.S. over the past seven days, according to data from outbreak.info, which tracks the virus and its variants worldwide. On Monday, Japanese researchers released a study showing that the Pfizer vaccine is 76% effective against this variant, which was originally feared to be more resistant to vaccines and at one point earlier this month was prevalent in 49 states.
