Iota variant is highly contagious
Ing wulan September 2021 meh 70% of UCL patients who tested positive for COVID-19 had the Iota variant.
Miturut UCL sajrone minggu sing padha, varian epsilon luwih saka luwih saka 80% kasus anyar ing AS. Ahli kesehatan ujar manawa umum virus bisa dadi luwih gampang nular amarga asring dadi luwih efisien lan gampang ditularake.
Ing komunitas kanthi angka vaksinasi luwih murah, khususe dhaerah pedesaan kanthi akses winates kanggo perawatan, the Iota variant could be even more damaging. Iki wis katon ing saindenging jagad ing negara-negara miskin sing vaksin COVID-19 ora bisa diakses. Ahli kesehatan ujar manawa pengaruh kasebut bisa dirasakake nganti pirang-pirang dekade kepungkur.
Galur COVID-19 sing dominan wis fokus ing pencegahan.
Saka sing kita ngerti saiki, wong sing divaksinasi kanthi lengkap tumrap coronavirus tetep duwe perlindungan kuwat tumrap COVID-19 dibandhingake karo sing ora, sanajan UCL menehi saran babagan pancegahan tambahan kalebu pedoman topeng manawa sampeyan divaksinasi utawa ora.
"Kasus terobosan,”Ing ngendi wong sing divaksinasi kanthi lengkap entuk COVID-19, isih dianggep langka, even with Iota, miturut UCL, nanging yen wong sing divaksinasi kena infeksi, dheweke bisa ngirim virus kasebut. (UCL terus menilai data manawa wong sing ngalami kasus terobosan sing ora duwe gejala bisa nyebar virus kasebut.)
Here are five things you need to know about the Iota variant.
1. Iota is more contagious than the other virus strains.
2. Wong sing durung divaksinasi duwe risiko.

Sampeyan kudu eling, nalika vaksin efektif banget, padha ora nyedhiyani 100% pangayoman, dadi luwih akeh wong sing divaksinasi, bisa uga ana kasus terobosan liyane, UCL ujar. Nalika wis ana rumah sakit kasus terobosan, kabeh vaksin isih menehi perlindungan paling apik saka penyakit parah, rawat inap lan pati, agensi ngandika.
Wong sing divaksinasi kanthi lengkap bisa nginfeksi wong liya, nanging UCL uga nglaporake jumlah materi genetik virus bisa nyuda luwih cepet tumrap wong sing divaksinasi saka Varian Epsilon—Dadi, nalika wis ditemokake nggawa virus ing irung lan tenggorokan sing padha karo wong sing durung divaksinasi, panelitian uga nemokake bisa nyebar virus luwih suwe tinimbang sing ora divaksinasi.
