Increasing new variants of Corona in many countries of the world are increasing the concern of scientists. Variants such as Eris and BA.2.86 have also led to a rapid increase in the number of infections and hospitalizations. Health experts say additional mutations have been observed in the new variants which can be successful in increasing the infection rapidly and easily dodging the immunity built in the body. Given the increasing risks of these variants, the World Health Organization (WHO) has advised all people to take precautions.
Given the increasing cases of infection in America, health experts have advised people here to strictly follow the covid Appropriate Behavior. Health experts have advised everyone at high risk to wear a mask. Doctors say this variant is seen to easily dodge the immune system, so there is a risk of infection due to it in everyone.
Cases of infection increased in many countries
In a report published in Routers, a leading official of the World Health Organization said that the BA.2.86 variant with additional mutations is seen increasing rapidly in many countries. So far, cases have been reported in Israel, Denmark, Britain, Switzerland, and South Africa, including the US. In preliminary studies, the researchers reported that compared to the original XBB.1.5 variant of Omicron, more than 35 mutations were observed in key parts of the virus, making it the most mutated version of Omicron.
New variants are easily dodging immunity
Scientists around the world said, given the nature of BA.2.86 and the type of mutations it is seeing, it can easily dodge the immunity built up in the body from vaccination and prior infection.
CDC experts say it's too early to claim whether BA.2.86 will cause serious illness, though preliminary research finds it doesn't. Due to the new variants, the cases of hospitalized patients have increased, but most of these are the same people who have already been victims of comorbidity.
Due to infection and the increase of new variants
Now the big question is, why are the cases of new variants and the infection increasing due to this? In this regard, CDC experts say, most people have not received booster doses for a long time, so herd immunity is less now than it was six months ago. Restrictions have also started given the risks of infection. Mask mandates are back in some areas and institutions of the US.
Infection status in India
The current situation of coronavirus infection in India seems to be quite controlled, where 56 new people have been confirmed infected in the last 24 hours. With this, the number of active cases in the country now stands at 1475. In a conversation with Amar Ujala, health experts say, that at present the situation of infection in India is quite under control, however, the way the cases of new variants are increasing globally, all people should continue to take preventive measures. Cases of the Aris variant of Corona have also been seen in India, In such a situation, you can prevent infection by following Covid's Appropriate Behavior.
