KOV-14 is a variant of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19. It is part of a lineage identified in research and monitoring of COVID-19 variants. Variants like KOV-14 emerge due to mutations in the virus's genetic material as it spreads through populations. These variants are monitored for potential changes in transmissibility, vaccine effectiveness, and severity of illness they may cause.
