New Varient of Corona Virus
The mention of “Corona” instantly brings about a sense of unease, causing one’s hair to stand on end. While the havoc of COVID-19 seems to have subsided globally, new variants continue to emerge in different countries.
Currently, there is news from Britain about a rapidly spreading new variant of the coronavirus, known as EG.5.1 or the Eris variant. As discussions about these new variants of the coronavirus abound, concerns among the people in India are growing. They are wondering just how dangerous this new variant might be. What are its symptoms?
With winter approaching in Britain, the new variant of COVID-19 is swiftly making its presence felt. Ever since this news hit the headlines, health officials there are on high alert. It’s important to note that this new variant is a part of the Omicron lineage. Information about this variant emerged just last month in Britain, and since then, the local population has been living in fear of COVID-19 once again.
The first case was detected on July 3rd. Enhanced screening measures are being implemented for all incoming travelers. It was then realized that this variant is quite distinct. There’s a concern in Britain that cases might surge rapidly during the winter season.
Regarding the new wave of COVID-19 in Britain, Professor Christina Pagel of University College London’s Operation Research suggests that the new variants could wreak havoc. The expectation is that COVID-19 cases might rise rapidly come September.
The symptoms of the new variant, Eris, are similar to those of other variants of COVID-19, as per health studies:
-Sore throat
-Runny nose
-Blocked nose
-Sneezing
-Dry cough
-Headache
-Wet cough
